Scientists at the Fudan University in Shanghai have developed a two-dimensional flash memory that can store data at room temperature using a solitary electron. So, it the energy consumption could be reduced considerably, it could allow more data processing to happen locally, instead of relying on large data centers. Guiyi: Return to One Since memory storage devices are reservoirs of electrons, detecting a single electron is akin to detecting ripples caused by a single drop of water in a large reservoir. The 2D-chip isn’t Zhou’s only offering to data storage technology. Changying allows PoX to integrate with silicon-based hardware, making the world’s first 2D silicon hybrid flash memory chip.
