Look up vertical Bloch line memories. I think he was at

They were just touching

the magnetic drive
lines could also be integrated onto the chip, reducing the
inductance and power
required. Anyway, Bloch had developed some stuff that could

WAY beyond the original bubble memories.

Well, the original ones were as you say, but
there was a
lot of work
going on to make
massive improvements.
I don't think so--density was a problem with bubble
memories as with FRAM. I suspect that the geometry needed
to hold a charge can simply be smaller and easier to
fabricate.
