Ferritin to be used in uber-thin computer memory?
Reportedly, the researchers have found that by using ferritin, metal memory cells could be arranged on substrates sans heat, which consequently allows for thinner substrate materials to be used. The method could eventually lead to “computers being built on thin films that could then be integrated into eyeglass lenses or into clothing,” which could add a whole new dimension to wearable electronics.
Okay, so I’m nearly single-mindedly covetous of invisible, casual computing using material indistinguishable from everyday wear.
Everyone (okay, everyone I know) has their science fiction dream. Some people want a colony on Mars. This one’s mine.
Mine too!
I would much rather have a pair of sunglasses that is feeding me a large amount of info while I am talking with people, unbeknownst to them. I love the idea of the information “gargoyle” from Snow Crash.
