Carbon nanotube foams reveal a new kind of mechanical memory
Phys.org ·
In their earliest years of development, computers used mechanical gears and levers to store information. Today, researchers are exploring whether a material itself can hold onto information, storing memory in how it bends and springs back to its original shape.
