Flexible_Memory.jpgThe photo to the left shows an example of non-volatile, flexible organic flash memory developed at the University of Toyko--something that could lead the way to a slew of flexible computing gadgets, such as large-area sensors and electronic paper devices, Engadget reports.

The design uses a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) resin sheet arrayed with memory cells, the report said; data can be written to it and erased over 1,000 times. The university claims it can be bent up to six millimeters without any degradation.

So far, it only retains data for about a day--but researchers expect to improve that drastically over time.
