IBM is rumored to have developed a memory technology that can be 100 times faster than Flash. Going to be a substitute for flash?

The technology developed is a PCM (phase change memory). It is said that this technology is capable of performing a read-write 100 times faster than the Flash technology that exist today.

 
Not only that, the PCM technology is also more durable with the writing cycle millions of times. While Flash now only survive in the thousands.

The technology is based alloys (alloy) that can be converted into a variety of physical conditions (phase / phases) with bursts of electricity. In the past, this technology can not be developed properly due to rapidly develop resistance to electrical current. Another drawback of PCM in the past is the ability of each cell can only store one bit of data.

Now, IBM claims to have managed to overcome those weaknesses. Besides being more reliable, each PCM cell is now capable of storing four bits of data.

So far PCM dikembangakn IBM is still at laboratory stage. The technology is expected to bring changes in 2016, when she began attending as a product-level users (both consumers and corporations).

Permanently blind because of cataracts can be prevented through early detection of symptoms. Not always have to use advanced tools, are now lining of the eye disorders can also be detected with a cell phone. 

This latest technology developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is expected to be used in communities in remote areas with difficult access to health facilities. In fact, because its use is easy, cell phones are not to be operated by an ophthalmologist. 

Basically, this technology works as a radar, similar to the equipment used to monitor the cloud and weather conditions. Radar with a specific wavelength emitted from a tool into the surface layer of the eye to the misty mendetekasi called cataracts. 

"Camera phones will scan the eye lens, and then make a map showing the position, size, shape and density karatak," said one of the researchers involved in the development, as quoted from Pamplona Citor Mobilhealthnews, Thursday (07/07/2011).
Surely not just any phone can be used to detect cataracts with this technology. In order to emit radar, cell phones must be fitted with chips and software designed specifically to monitor the condition of abnormalities in the lining of the eye. 

The results will be displayed on the screen, in the form of scores ranging from 1-4. Score of 1 indicates that hinders pengkabutan vision in the mildest degrees, while the score of 4 indicates the most severe level that required further treatment by an ophthalmologist. 

For now, the technology is named Caltra System has not been able to be purchased in stores phone because it has not been officially launched. The new launch will be conducted in technology SIGGRAPH conference in Vancouver, British Columbia next month. 

Cataract is the most common cause of blindness worldwide, but the initial symptoms are still difficult to detect, especially in poor countries who lack health facilities memadahi. To cure it, the only way is through surgery.
