Maybe not for you...

Transparent 3D Memory Chips To Replace Flash Drives

...but, at least for me, it looks interesting! :)

holographic memory seems to have been 5 years away for the last 20 years. the biggest problem is that it uses mechanical lenses and that limits the speed compared to true solid state storage. Fluorescent multilayer disc technology also looked promising but seems to have gone silent recently.

How much it will take for us, humans, to get all our digital data stored into some synthetic DNA Chain?

From what I read, the memory is still electric; just happens to be transparent.

I was under such impression too, and thinking it further, after my reading I was under the impression that the Rice University was ready to market their project among the big companies... but hey, I'm just a reader like you or anyone else, so, I'm just especulating.

Of course if they afford to do it for real, it would be great... and I'm just thinking into some new-new hyper-big tablet plenty of computing resources, and things like that, without consideration of some Sci-Fi-Kind scenaries! :)

Just for us, humans, but not for THEM! :shock:
Feel free to add some kind of good future-related music to it: Leon Theremin Playing His Own Instrument, and pepermint it with the Most Awesome POV stuff! :P :P :P

Hi GeneratriX.

Mechanically and visually speaking this is the most amazing POV device I have ever seen! I'm sure the embedded MCU powering it would be able to hold large amounts of data possibly exceeding 48KB of storage.

And by far! :P
...it looks amazing! That 3D-POV is a very good idea, getting closer and closer to a real useful display... time to increase the number of active elements, speed, and size! :)
