Crystals could reduce cloud computing costs
A new class of organic materials boasts ferroelectric power and could make cloud computing less expensive, say researchers.
The new ferroelectric materials could be developed into non-volatile memory. With this type of memory, if the power is turned off, the information is retained. If the cloud and electronic devices operated on non-volatile memory, $6 billion in electricity costs would be saved in the US annually, the Northwestern University researchers say.
