The first liquid RAM

China has created the world's first liquid random-access memory (RAM). It is made using a viscous metal called gallium, and a single droplet can store 8 bytes of data. Currently, the technology only supports 3500 write cycles, so it still has a long way to go before it can compete with modern solid-state RAM. However, it is currently only a proof of concept. On the other hand, this new type of memory exhibits other useful properties that current models lack. For instance, it can retain data for up to 12 hours when powered off, which could potentially lead to the development of a permanent flexible storage solution if the technology can be further advanced.
