hexagonal-BN enables 2D RRAM devices

Researchers from Soochow University in China in collaboration with researchers form Harvard, Stanford and MIT developed RRAM memory devices using multilayer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as dielectric. The devices show promising performance - while being based on a 2D material, which may pave the way towards extremely thin and efficient memory devices.
