HP plans nanoscale RRAM by 2009

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Last week researchers at Hewlett-Packard indicated that their nanoscale crossbar arrays may see commercialization as early as next year in ultra high density non-volatile memory. While the initial research into nanoscale crossbar technology was performed by Stan Williams and Phil Kuekes in the late 1990's, the recent discovery of the "memristor" characterized as ...

Alternative Nanoelectronics Update (Nanosys)

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

In Vol. 3, issue 4 of the Nanotechnology Law & Business journal I reviewed four alternative approaches to future nanoelectronics devices taken by D-Wave (quantum computing), Hewlett-Packard (molecular electronics), Nantero (carbon nanotube switches), and Nanosys (nanowire macroelectronics). Of the four companies Nanosys seems to be in the best position at ...
