Egg shells can be used for the next generation of storage devices Bashny.Net

The team from Institute of technology of Guizhou in China made the device for storing data from the eggshell. It has a resistive random access memory (ReRAM), and is a serious contender for next-generation systems for data storage. ReRAM is faster, provides higher storage density and consumes less energy than conventional methods such as flash memory or dynamic RAM disk.





Researchers have created a nanoscale powder from eggs and shells. After drying, the powder was dissolved and struck on the substrate to form the electrolytic part of the memory chip through which electric current flows.

Resistive memory relies on materials that are characterized by a change in electrical resistance when exposed to strain. The team let the current through the device to see if it works as ReRAM. It turned out that the device is able to record a 1 or 0 in memory up to 100 times before the break.





It is not the billions of cycles that provide other materials, but still impressive. Of course, before the creation of computers from egg powder is still far.

But as a sustainable alternative to electrolytes in the future, eggshell can be promising, says Kees de Groot in Southampton University in the UK. published
