Plastic
memory gets tough
Liquid polyimide can be made into memory cells simply and inexpensively. Prototype memory devices made from the material stand up to high temperatures and harsh conditions better and require less power than previous plastic memory devices.
The material can be layered to make high-capacity three-dimensional memory chips.
