China develops single-electron chip for AI memory breakthrough

Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai have developed a novel 2D flash memory chip named Guiyi that can store data using a single electron. This breakthrough, detailed in the journal Science, significantly reduces the power consumption and memory limitations previously associated with running AI models, particularly large language models, on mobile devices. The technology achieves a tenfold improvement over prior single-electron attempts, enabling AI to maintain conversational memory without interruption and operate with minimal power. AI

IMPACT Enables AI models to run on mobile devices with significantly reduced power consumption and improved conversational memory.

    China’s new chip stores data with a single electron, breaking AI memory bottleneck

    How many electrons does it take to store a single bit of information? For today’s most advanced dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips from Samsung and SK Hynix, the answer is roughly 200,000. That is the price of reliability – a vast reservoir of charge needed to ensure a “1”…
