Ferritin proteins yield ultrathin computer memory

Researchers from the Nara Institute of Science and Technology have developed a biotech-based process for creating ultrathin computer memory.

The researchers, who happen to be fans of the popular Detective Conan (a.k.a. “Case Closed“) series of manga and anime, say their success marks a major step forward in the development of ultrathin computers that, if coupled with ultrathin displays, could one day be used in devices like the high-tech eyeglasses that appear in Detective Conan. The Detective Conan series, which is authored by Gosho Aoyama, centers around Shin’ichi Kudo (”Jimmy Kudo” in the US version), a young detective that has been transformed into a prepubescent boy who goes by the alias of Edogawa Conan and who is armed with an array of high-tech gadgets like computerized eyeglasses, a voice-changing bow tie, and power-boost sneakers.

In response to the development, Gosho Aoyama, Conan’s creator, says, “It is a great thrill to see an idea on the pages of a manga become a reality. Next, if possible, I’d like someone to develop power-boost sneakers.”

Who ever these people are, i'd like to help them do the research. (Just not right now though, still studying)

If you have ultra thin displays already, its slightly easier to hook the glasses up to your backpack which has its own power source and processor(the computer stuff in there), etc. Then you could connect it to different stuff, like a radio, etc.
