High heat helps 'heal' flash memory chips
A brief jolt of 800C heat can stop flash memory wearing out, researchers in Taiwan have found.
Flash memory is widely used in computers and electronic gadgets because it is fast and remembers data written to it even when unpowered.
However, flash memory reliability suffers significantly after about 10,000 write and read cycles.
Using heat, the researchers have found a way to "heal" flash memory materials to make them last 100 million cycles
