Editing Bubble memory (section)

=== Further applications ===
In 2007, the idea of using [[microfluidic]] bubbles as [[fluidics|logic]] (rather than memory) was proposed by [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] researchers. The bubble logic would use nanotechnology and has been demonstrated to have access times of 7&nbsp;ms, which is faster than the 10&nbsp;ms access times that contemporary hard drives had, though it is slower than the access time of traditional RAM and of traditional logic circuits, making the proposal not commercially practical.<ref>{{cite journal |author-link=Manu Prakash |author2-link=Neil Gershenfeld |last1=Prakash |first1=Manu |last2=Gershenfeld |first2=Neil |title=Microfluidic Bubble Logic |journal= Science|volume=315 |issue=5813 |pages=832–5 |date=9 February 2007 |doi=10.1126/science.1136907 |jstor=20038959 |pmid=17289994 |bibcode=2007Sci...315..832P |s2cid=5882836 |hdl=1721.1/46593 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>

IBM's 2008 work on [[racetrack memory]] is essentially a 1-dimensional version of bubble, bearing an even closer relationship to the original serial twistor concept.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Parkin |title=Magnetic Domain-Wall Racetrack Memory |journal=Science |volume=320|issue=5873 |pages=190–4 |date=11 April 2008 |doi=10.1126/science.1145799 |pmid=18403702 |bibcode=2008Sci...320..190P |s2cid=19285283 }}</ref>
