Answer» Quote IBM researchers today revealed a previously unknown aspect of key physics inside Racetrack memory -- a new technology design which stands to improve memory capabilities within mobile phones, laptop computers and business-class servers. This new class of memory could enable devices to store much more INFORMATION - as much as a factor of 100 times greater - while using much less energy than today's designs. Link WOW.
