With the discovery of a new property in commonly used plastics, researchers from Princeton University and Hewlett-Packard said they have invented a combination of materials that could lower the cost and boost the density of electronic memory. The research, detailed in this month’s issue of Nature, involves a previously unrecognized property in a widely used polymer plastic coating. Combined with thin-film silicon transistors, the polymer can store data like a CD but would serve as a conventional electronic memory chip.
If large current value is used to blow apart the fuse material in an enclosed case, where does the debris and gases created by the blow out go ? . Is there a problem with future contamination and possible failure due to pressure build up, debris, cracking of containment enclosure, how do these blow outs effect surrounding circuitry ?
