Watch a Memory Bit Switch

Want to watch a memory bit flip at the atomic scale?

Calling all my fellow EE's and any other physics/geek aficionados, check out this 5 min interview explaining latest research in ferroelectric memory. Why is it cool? Because you can see the material change state (the field sweep) through the memory layer. Bonus: this imaging of the process was unexpected, current models do not represent this effect. They need to be revised. So cool.

Don't know about that youtube title - I doubt this effect is "real time". It has to have been slowed down.
