Supercapacitors wrought from thin films
by R. Colin Johnson Contributing Editor, MEMS Investor Journal Supercapacitors are touted as the enablers of MEMS battery technologies , but so far thin film and other supercapacitor topologies have come up short of fulfilling the dream. Now researchers at Drexel University claim to have discovered a method that…
MEMS technology to boost storage density
Flash memory chips are predicted to begin slowing down their bit density growth in the next few years due to lithography related constraints. Nanochip is one of the startup companies which is working to get around these limitations. The company is developing a new class of ultra-high-capacity storage chips based on…
Nanochip's MEMS based memory
In April of this year Nanochip reported a new venture capital round of $10 million with Intel as the leading investor. Nanochip is developing a new class of ultra-high-capacity MEMS-based storage chips. These new chips - with bit-densities enabling the storage of tens of gigabytes per chip or the equivalent of many…
