Researchers from The device, that could be used in MP3s, smartphones and cameras, uses a tiny mechanical arm to translate data into electrical signals. This allows faster operation and uses less energy compared with conventional memory storage products.
The device measures the current passing through a carbon nanotube, and the binary value of the data that is recorded, is determined by an electrode that controls the flow of current.

"However, one of the issues with these novel devices is how easy they can be manufactured on an industrial scale, which we are yet to see."
