Overview of Nano RAM Technology

The document discusses Nano RAM (NRAM), a type of non-volatile memory that uses carbon nanotubes as its active memory elements. NRAM was developed by Nantero and provides advantages over traditional memory like faster speeds, higher density, and lower power consumption. However, NRAM is still in the research phase and faces limitations like higher costs and the need for further development before widespread usage.
