Nanotube computer memory shows promise

Computers that boot up almost instantaneously. Cellphones with enough battery-conserving memory to run full-motion video and music files for days. A trillion bits worth of data storage on a chip the size of a postage stamp.

Those are some of the potentially radical implications of technology being developed here by Nantero Corp. Late this year Nantero hopes to start selling computer memory chips built with carbon nanotubes, an ultra-tiny form of matter that is 20 times as strong as steel and conducts electricity 1,000 times better than copper.
