Scientists at IBM are conducting research into arranging carbon nanotubes-strands of carbon atoms that can conduct electricity-into arrays with DNA molecules

Once the nanotube array is meticulously constructed, the laboratory-generated DNA molecules could be removed, leaving an orderly grid of nanotubes. The nanotube grid, conceivably, could function as a data storage device or perform calculations.

Potentially, DNA could address, or recognize, features as small as two nanometers. Cutting-edge chips today have features that average 45 nanometers.

Freeze Memory Chips, Steal Encrypted Data

According to an article published by New York Times, Princeton University researchers have come out with a method to steal encrypted information stored on computer hard disks. The trick is pretty simple according to them but certainly not for us. It involves freezing of DRAM (Dynamic Random Acces Memory) chip. This is done to exploit the little-known vulnerability of the DRAM chip.

These chips temporarily hold data, including the keys to modern data-scrambling algorithms. When the computer’s electrical power is shut off, the data, including the keys, is supposed to disappear. But the chips actually retain their data for seconds or even minutes after power is cut off.
