BOFFINS working at the Arizona State University’s Center for Applied Nanoionics say they have come up with a low-cost, low-power computer memory that could create a terabyte-sized thumb drive.

The drive uses a new technique for manipulating charged copper particles at the molecular scale. Memory is a tenth of the the cost and a thousand times energy-efficient as flash memory.

Top boffin Michael Kozicki said a a thumb drive using the memory could store a terabyte of information. He claimed that all the current limitations in portable electronic storage flee in the face of the technology. It would be finally possible to video your life and store it.
