Nothing familiar about it at all......“self-healing” process that uses a flash chip with “onboard heaters that could anneal small groups of memory cells.”

Whats the cost of that? Is it practical? What kind of power does it consume? Is it cost effective?.....

Heaters? Sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

"The result is a chip that can be erased and rewritten on over and over, even when it should theoretically break down. As promising as Macronix’s breakthrough could be for the mobile industry, there are no plans for a commercial product to be released any time in the near future."

e.Digital could supply / initiate the power source to "heater" the cells ....just as it does to erase(flash) cells...lol

As interesting as it sounds, I ain't worrying about that one...It took well over 10 years to power down the VPP/VCC to flash...now someone wants to put heaters on-board?...lol
