I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Researchers in Germany are trying to turn self-assembled arrays of quantum dots into non-volatile storage. So far, they've managed access times of 10ns and refresh rates as low as 0.7Hz, which would make it superior to current RAM. Also, unlike flash memory, there's no silicon dioxide layer to wear out and limit the number of write cycles. They still have challenges, though, in increasing the data density and figuring out how to mass produce these arrays."
