By tuning the “Gaussian length” of the channel, the team achieved two‑dimensional super‑injection, which is an effectively limitless charge surge into the storage layer that bypasses the classical injection bottleneck.

China scientists develop flash memory 10,000× faster than current tech

Which episode of Star Trek is this from?
The one where there's a problem with the holodeck.
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
They're just copying the description of the turbo encabulator.

Yawn
Wake me up if they figure out how to make this cheap enough to put in a normal person's server.
normal person’s server.
I’m pretty sure I speak for the majority of normal people, but we don’t have servers.
Ikr...Dude thinks we're restaurants or something.
Yeah, when you're a technology enthusiast, it's easy to forget that your average user doesn't have a home server - perhaps they just have a NAS or two.
(Kidding aside, I wish more people had NAS boxes. It's pretty disheartening to help someone find old media and they show a giant box of USB sticks and hard drives. In a good day. I do have a USB floppy drive and a DVD drive just in case.)
Hello fellow home labber! I have a home built xpenology box, proxmox server with a dozen vm’s, a hackentosh, and a workstation with 44 cores running linux. Oh, and a usb floppy drive. We are out here.
I also like long walks in Oblivion.
Man oblivion walks are the best until a crazy woman comes at you trying to steal your soul with a fancy sword
lol yeah, the lemmy userbase is NOT an accurate sample of the technical aptitude of the general population 😂
It's pretty disheartening to help someone find old media and they show a giant box of USB sticks and hard drives.
Equally disheartening is knowing that both of those have a shelf-life. Old USB flash drives are more durable than the TLC/QLC cells we use today, but 15 years sitting unpowered in a box doesn't have very good prospects.
You... you don't? Surely there's some mistake, have you checked down the back of your cupboard? Sometimes they fall down there. Where else do you keep your internet?
Appologies, I'm tired and that made more sense in my head.
Well obviously the internet is kept in a box, and it’s wireless. The elders of the internet let me borrow it occasionally.
"Normal person" is a modifier of server. It does not state any expectation of every normal person having a server. Instead, it sets expectation that they are talking about servers owned by normal people. I have a server. I am norm.. crap.
You can get a Coral TPU for 40 bucks or so.
You can get an AMD APU with a NN-inference-optimized tile for under 200.
Training can be done with any relatively modern GPU, with varying efficiency and capacity depending on how much you want to spend.
What price point are you trying to hit?
What price point are you trying to hit?
With regards to AI?. None tbh.
With this super fast storage I have other cool ideas but I don't think I can get enough bandwidth to saturate it.

Link to the actual paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08839-w
The repro and verification will take time. Months or even years. Don't trust anyone who says it's definitely real or definitely bunk. Time will tell.
Speaking of, did you hear there's a new room temperature super conductor?
This article appeared in my feed just above another article about how China has the world's first operational thorium reactor. Meanwhile, the US is about to fight a civil war over whether vaccination causes measles and stripping away the last of our social programs in order to get our wealthiest people another 2% subsidy.
Fuck the idiotic Americans that won't bother to immunize, never mind understanding science as a whole.

Too bad the US can't import any of it.
Brother, have you heard of buses? Even INSIDE cpus/socs bus speeds are a limitation. Also i fucking hate how the first thing people mention now is how ai could benefit from a jump in computing power.
Edit: I havent dabbled that much in high speed stuff yet but isnt the picosecond range so fast that the capacitance of simple traces and connectors between chips influence the rising and falling edge of chips?
That's pretty much my understanding. Most of the advancements happened in memory speeds are related to the physical proximity of the memory and more efficient transmission/decoding.
GDDR7 chips for example are packed as close as physically possible to the GPU die, and have insane read speeds of 28 Gbps/pin (and a 5090 has a 512-bit bus). Most of the limitation is the connection between GPU and RAM, so speeding up the chips internally 1000x won't have a noticeable impact without also improving the memory bus.
Clickbait article with some half truths. A discovery was made, it has little to do with Ai and real world applications will be much, MUCH more limited than what's being talked about here, and will also likely still take years to come out

Yeah, but endurance. and accuracy. and longevity. How about those?
And price and maye write more than 1 single bit
Whenever they say X whatever times, I doubt it right away, because they always interpret the statistics in the dumbest ways possible. You have a solar panel that is 28% efficient. There is no way it can be 20x times as efficient, that's just clickbait.

Yeah... At best click baity as fuck, at worst a complete scam.
Any time there is a 10x or more in a headline you are 10x or more likely to be right by calling it BS.
You just fucking wait. Trump is bringing manufacturing to the US. And when that plant opens someday you'll be so sorry you doubted.
I'm sure the foxconn plant in Wisconsin will fire up ANY DAY NOW! drums fingers
I talked to like 50 people today and all of the people said they were starting manufacturing plants tomorrow and they'll be fully functional Tuesday around 3:15.
I started mine earlier and I've already done manufacturing 3 times today. It's really easy. By this time tomorrow I'll have a couple more and they'll all be winning manufacturing.
Tariffs gave me the ability to finally believe in myself. Tariffs have increased my stamina in bed, given me a full head of hair again, and since I started manufacturing plant yesterday I've dropped 50 pounds.
Is that fast enough to put an LLM in swap and have decent performance?
Note that this in theory speaks to performance of a non volatile memory. It does not speak to cost.
We already have a faster than NAND non volatile storage in phase change memory . It failed due to expense.
If this thing is significantly more expensive even than RAM, then it may fail even if it is everything it says it is. If it is at least as cheap as ram, it'll be huge since it is faster than RAM and non volatile.
Swap is indicated by cost, not by non volatile characteristics.
This sounds like that material would be more useful in high performance radars, not as flash memory
It‘s likely BS anyway. Maybe it’s just me but reading about another crazy breakthrough from China every single day during this trade war smells fishy. Because I‘ve seen the exact same propaganda strategy during the pandemic when relations between China and the rest of the world weren‘t exactly the best. A lot of those headlines coming from there are just claims about flashy topics with very little substance or second guessing. And the papers releasing the stories aren‘t exactly the most renowned either.
It's definitely possible they're amplifying these developments to maintain confidence in the Chinese market, but I doubt they're outright lying about the discoveries. I think it's also likely that some of what they've been talking about has been in development for a while and that China is choosing now to make big reveals about them.
It's like temu. 100x discount.
