TokyoNow: Hitachi developing terabit memory chipKyodo / Monday March 22, 9:36 AMThe Central Research Institute of Hitachi Ltd... is developing a terabit memory chip that can store a trillion bits of data. Tomoyuki Ishii, chief researcher of the System LSI Research Division at the institute, said that in the future "Everybody will record everything in memory."...
The 1-centimeter terabit chip, which will be ready for practical use 10 years... Ishii recalled that a failure led to the development of large-capacity memory chips....applied pressure to the film, a hole large enough for one electron was created -- which was perfect for single-electron memory. Thus, the staff's mistake led to a big discovery.... There is no limit to the use of a memory. "All images and cartoons I have experienced can be saved and seen any time," Ishii said.
