Newer Antimony Phase Change Memory article comparing it to Flash Memory...I havent seen this article yet.....Phase Change is the new computing memory and storage breakthrough. Like someone said, maybe the Naz and OTC mainframe computers now need these much higher advanced chips! lol:

" Phase-change memory vs. flash memory

Phase-change memory is being actively pursued as an alternative to ubiquitous flash memory for data storage applications for three reasons, according to Xilin Zhou of the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences:

Flash memory is limited in its storage density when devices get smaller than 20 nanometers. Phase-change memory device can be less than 10 nanometers — allowing more memory to be squeezed into tinier spaces.
Data can be written into phase-change memories very quickly.
Phase-change memory devices would be relatively inexpensive to produce.
However, current phase-change memory devices being developed are based on germanium, antimony, and tellurium. It’s difficult to control the phase-change memory manufacturing process with these materials. Etching and polishing of the material with chalcogens can change the material’s composition, due to the motion of the tellurium atoms,” explained Zhou.

So Zhou and his colleagues turned to a material with just two elements: aluminum and antimony. They studied the material’s phase-changing properties, finding that it’s more thermally stable than the Ge-Sb-Te compound."

...and here for anyone new too is the Visual Capitalists nice easy to understand presentation of Antimony....and this Phase Change Memory:
