Scientists at Kookmin University in Seoul have developed a highly durable‚ flexible memory device that has the potential to change the future of portable electronic devices.
The team led by materials engineering Professor Lee Jang-sik says the new flexible organic memory device differs greatly from existing ones as it has effectively overcome past shortcomings found in similar data storing prototypes such as USBs and memory chips in cell phones and cameras.
While past flexible memory devices lost their ability to store data after prolonged use and when placed under stress the newly developed device proved to be highly resilient and able to safely store information for up to a year.

jiyun.jang@arirang.co.kr] "Researchers say even after bending the material repeatedly up to a thousand times they found no changes in its characteristics."
What sets the latest invention apart from conventional devices is that it is made with gold nanoparticles which are known for their superior electric charge retention capabilities.
[Interview : Kim Ji-sun‚ Graduate student
Kookmin University] "In other memory devices‚ the electronic components responsible for storing data are composed of single block-like particles‚ which means if a part of the section is damaged the entire block becomes useless. However‚ since our new device uses gold nanoparticles‚ even if there is partial damage‚ stored data remains unaffected.
The findings of this research‚ which has been funded by the Ministry of Education‚ Science and Technology and the National Research Foundation of Korea as part of the country's effort to help cutting-edge research and development in the information technology sector‚ was also carried in the latest online issue of the Nano Letters journal.
[Interview : Lee Jang-sik‚ Professor
Kookmin University] "You could say that the latest discovery has made it possible to make mobile phones that can be worn like wristwatches‚ wearable computers and electronic books‚ and displays that can be rolled up and put into a bag."
As for future projects‚ Professor Lee Jang-sik says he hopes to develop flexible memory devices that are completely transparent‚ so as to make it possible to create glasses that can function as computers or have computing capabilities.
