In a new Nanolithographical process that is.
wow. What's-his-faces-law has sure been shattered over the last couple of years. this should make ram a lot cheaper and more efficient as well.
HERE is a link to the PDF of the report from Berkeley.
and one more link clik!
same as megagames but with another pic. [url=http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/rele ... lens.shtml]cliky![url]
A small world is getting smaller.
Re: A small world is getting smaller.
megagames.com wrote:Because the light from plasmons decays less than 100 nanometers from the metal surface, the photoresist material must be placed very close to the lens. To accommodate this limitation, the researchers designed an air bearing that uses the aerodynamic lift force created by the spinning to help keep the two surfaces a mere 20 nanometers apart.

With this innovative setup, the engineers demonstrated scanning speeds of 4 to 12 meters per second.
"The speed and distances we're talking about here are equivalent to a Boeing 747 flying 2 millimeters above the ground," added Zhang. "Moreover, this distance is kept constant, even when the surface is not perfectly flat."
