So, something akin to magnetic relays at the nanometer level?

I have a hard time believing the durability presented (especially with remarks on how it might as well be an infinite number) for a process that involves movement and contact points.

So, if it's been tested continually for 10 years, why are the fabrication technologies behind? This sounds like marketing for vapor ware with as much hype shoved between the specs.

Since the contact points are CNTs I would believe it. Only diamond has a stronger lattice binding those carbon atoms.
