Memory in a metal, enabled by quantum geometry

Researchers invented a new data storage method by making odd numbered layers slide relative to even-number layers in tungsten ditelluride, which is only 3nm thick. The arrangement of these atomic layers represents 0 and 1 for data storage. The researchers make use of quantum geometry to read information out. This material platform works ideally for memory, with independent 'write' and 'read' operation.
