The event coincided with the Bristol  Nanoscience Symposium 2010, and featured great talks from some of the  pioneers of nanoscience and nanotechnology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-363   aligncenter\" title=\"Officially open: Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nanotec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/image1.jpg\" alt=\"Officially open: Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information\" width=\"375\" height=\"180\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Officially open: Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information<\/p>\n<p>At the opening event on Monday evening, IBM  Fellow Charles Bennett  talked about how to make quantum information \u201cmore fun and less  strange\u201d. His educational analogies included the idea of monogamy in  quantum information \u2013 that the more entangled two systems are with each  other, the less entangled they are with any others. &#8220;The lesson is this:  two is a couple, three is a crowd&#8221;, he said. He also talked about how  information doesn\u2019t get lost in quantum systems but does in classical  ones \u2013 how it\u2019s like there are eavesdroppers, and it&#8217;s harder to  factorize when someone\u2019s looking over your shoulder.<\/p>\n<h3>From Einstein to nanotechnology<\/h3>\n<p>The stage was then passed over to Heinrich Rohrer (pictured), a figure  revered by many in the audience. It was Rohrer, along with Gerd Binnig,  who invented the scanning tunnelling microscope \u2013 an instrument that can  image and manipulate single atoms \u2013 for which they were co-recipients  of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986. Rohrer was at the time at IBM\u2019s  Zurich lab.<\/p>\n<p>Rohrer commented about the &#8220;nano&#8221; revolution \u2013 that some say it\u2019s hype,  while others are more relaxed about it. &#8220;Let us not make a discipline  out of &#8216;nano&#8217; &#8220;, he warned. He also said that the new trend is for  people to operate using claims and catchphrases rather than careful  explanations; he noted that in all his reading of Einstein&#8217;s papers he  never once found words such as &#8220;new&#8221; or &#8220;unique&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In his closing comments, Rohrer proposed a litmus test for the centre&#8217;s  success. He said that if the NSQI can attract a good number of female  nanoengineers and nanomechanics then it is a good sign of interesting  research being done at the centre \u2013 and then you\u2019re on the right track  for the future. He then declared the centre officially open, and we all  piled in to the centre for champagne and a tour of the labs, which are  described in a previous blog entry: <a href=\"http:\/\/physicsworld.com\/blog\/2009\/09\/visting_the_quietest_building.html\">Visiting the quietest building in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But for me, the most exciting talk was given the following day by Stanley Williams of Hewlett-Packard (HP).<\/p>\n<h3>Switchable crossbars<\/h3>\n<p>Williams talked about &#8220;memristors&#8221;, a new type of memory device first  discovered in 2008, which make up the fourth missing electronic  component in the group that also includes the resistor, capacitor and  inductor. The memristor has a functionality that cannot be mimicked  using any combination of resistors, capacitors or inductors \u2013 it can  &#8220;remember&#8221; the amount of charge that has passed through it, and as a  result change its resistance. Teaming up with Hynix Semiconductor, HP is  to begin mass-producing its memristors soon; this is reported in more  detail in the upcoming issue of <a href=\"http:\/\/physicsworld.com\/\">Physics World<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Williams said that the current types of memory we use \u2013 dynamic RAM and  flash \u2013 are about to reach a brick wall: the limits of scaling. This has  caused a planet-wide mad dash to make new memory devices.<\/p>\n<p>In a comment relevant to the fundamental-versus-applied debate, Williams  noted that he started working on his memristor design in 1997, and  until four years ago it wasn&#8217;t even clear whether the research would pan  out, and someone could&#8217;ve stopped it. As Williams pointed out,  &#8220;choosing winners is very hard&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Williams&#8217; idea is the &#8220;switchable crossbar circuit&#8221;. Each circuit block  consists of 64 tiny platinum wires going in one direction and another 64  wires overlaying these in a perpendicular direction, with titanium  dioxide in between each crossing point. Titanium dioxide contains oxygen  defects and applying a voltage across it causes the width of the doped  volume to move \u2013 i.e. oxygen atoms move en masse. Changing the width of  the defect zone between 1.2 nm (on) and 1.8 nm (off) causes the  resistance to change, which is the yes\/no information required for a  bit. This concept contrasts with other memory devices in which charges  move, not atoms.<\/p>\n<p>Once the oxygen defects have moved, they don\u2019t diffuse back for a very  long time \u2013 the state is predicted to live up to 1000 years. And the  endurance \u2013 the number of times you can read and write information \u2013 is  exceptional. I didn\u2019t realise that you can only read and write flash  memory about 1000 times before it conks out. And if you didn\u2019t know that  either, it\u2019s not surprising because we tend to either lose or throw  away our memory sticks before that happens. In tests, HP memristors have  been cycled 10 billion times and are still working \u2013 Williams says that  they now need to think of a faster aging process to test its limits.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are memristors memory devices, but they can also be used to  perform logic. Two memristors are needed for universal computation \u2013  i.e. you can use them to build any other type of logic gate.<\/p>\n<p>There is so much more to tell about memristors and the race between  thousands of companies around the world who want to make the  next-generation memory device \u2013 there\u2019s another sort too I haven\u2019t even  mentioned yet, called phase change memory.
