Science News : Studying with the radio on may not be the best way to remember what you’ve read. But scientists have now built a data storage device whose memory gets a boost from noise.The device can store one bit of information, such as a 0 or a 1, only when surrounded by electronic noise, which is normally a problem in computer circuits."If you remove the noise, it doesn’t store the bit at all,” says Diego Grosz of the Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires , a coauthor of the study.
