Transparent Memory Chips Are Coming

[на рус.яз. см. предыдущий пост] 

Do you want a see-through cell phone you can wrap around your wrist? Such a thing may be possible before long, according to Rice University chemist James Tour, whose lab has developed transparent flexible memories using silicon oxide as the active component.

A flexible transparent memory chip was created by researchers at Rice University. Courtesy Tour (Tour Lab/Rice University) revealed today in a talk at the national meeting and exposition of the American Chemical Society in San Diego that the new type of memory could combine with the likes of transparent electrodes developed at Rice for flexible touchscreens and transparent integrated circuits and batteries developed at other labs in recent years.
