Scientists Invent High-speed Digital Memory Device Using Commodity Plastics Transformed by Nanotechnology

A team of scientists at UCLA has developed and built a plastic, non-volatile memory device using solution processing. In a paper appearing Nov. 28 online in the journal Nature Materials, the researchers outline how they designed a new type of polymer, or plastic, memory device.
The research group, led by materials science professor Yang Yang in the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, has demonstrated high performance of plastic memory devices fabricated by solution processing. The device is made from a polystyrene film containing gold nanoparticles, and holds promise for low-cost, high-density memory storage.
