But, inevitably, it's also rather complicated in its makeup, and it's at times like these I wish I was a lot smarter than I am. They should have sent… an engineer.

"Our patented memory technology uses quantum mechanical resonant-tunnelling," reads the ULTRAM site,"to provide an unmatched combination of speed, non-volatility, endurance and energy efficiency." for the technology goes on to explain that:"ULTRARAM is a charge-based memory that stores data by moving electrons into or out of a so-called 'floating gate'.

The technology comes from Quinas Technology, a company spun out of Lancaster University in the UK, where ULTRARAM was invented by Professor Manus Hayne of the university's physics department. Its appearance at the Flash Memory Summit is it's first showcase and it feels like it could open up a whole new world of devices.

At the moment, you have either DRAM and flash memory. The two have very different properties and so are used for almost entirely different things. DRAM is super quick, with read and write speeds many times faster than the quickest SSD, and can be rewritten practically as many times as you want.
