The Netherlands - Zernike Institute of Advanced Materials at the University of Groningen ( http://www.rug.nl ) announced a successful development of a technology for a plastic ferro-electric diode. The alleged breakthrough in the development of ultra low-cost plastic memory material, the findings are similar to those used in Flash memory chips.
In both cases, the memory retains data without being connected to a power source. Flash memory chips are used in memory sticks, MP3 players, cellular phones and in the memory cards of digital cameras. The researchers expect the new technology to lead to the development of comparable products possibly even more significant.
One product they have in mind is an electronic price tag which could be read radiographically at the cash desk of retail stores, replacing the bar codes currently in use. Another possible application is for the material to be used in packaging material which could warn consumers when a product is nearing its expiration date.
