pretty cool stuff..
my first beast was a 64 KiloByte core memory thingy.. and it weighed plenty..
now ya can lug 64GB on a little stick..

Graphene is a one-atom-thick planar sheet of sp2-bonded carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice.We cannot use Graphene as the EPA has indicated that Carbon causes Global Warming. - lunatic lib

Does anyone make a graphene memory cell that I can plug in to my brain? THAT is where I need more memory...

Yeah.

a snip:
Some say that it will be heralded as one of the materials that will literally change our lives in the 21st century. Not only is graphene the thinnest possible material that is feasible, but it’s also about 200 times stronger than steel and conducts electricity better than any material known to man—at room temperature.

I bought a 40MB hard drive, ($350!) and wondered what in the world I was gonna go with all that SPACE!...................

To: ShadowAce
Honestly, it looks like the big story here is not the memory, but the graphene itself. Google it.
Very interesting.
To: Red Badger
This is amazing:
“It [graphene] can also be considered as an indefinitely large aromatic molecule...”
Molecules don’t “wear out”. How long would moving parts made of graphene last? They claim it would take an elephant standing on a pencil, point down, to break a sheet (one atom thick) of graphene.
To: Red Badger
I like flash but I hope they can make it more robust. It has a limited number of writes leading to poor reliability over the long hall.
I’ve had a number die over the years and still find hard drives more reliable for long term storage.
