It was four years ago that one of IBM's Researcher, Stuart Parkin planned to develop a new type of of memory . According to his calculations this device can offer faster, cheaper and higher storage capacity than RAM or Hard Disk.
Racetrack
In racetrack memory, the bits - 1s and 0s - of data are stored in the tiny magnetic domains of a very thin U-shaped wire. They apply a magnetic field for writing data to the domains. Later, the pulsing current is passed through the wire, which pushes those domains along the track, along sensors that can read off the data.

IBM says this technology could enable handheld devices such as an mp3 player to store around 500,000 songs or around 3,500 movies - 100 times more than is possible today.
Well well what do we have to say about it !!
