There are all kinds of technology that appear through the ages that find immediate success, promise to revolutionize the world, but fade to obscurity almost as quickly. Things like the ZIP disk, RDRAM ...

Researchers showed that relatively simple structures can support exponential number of magnetic states -- much greater than previously thought -- and demonstrated switching between the states by ...

A newly revealed magnetic state in ruthenium dioxide could be the secret to faster, denser, and more reliable memory chips.

For the vast majority of us, computer memory is a somewhat abstract idea. Whether you’re declaring a variable in Python or setting a register in Verilog, the data goes — somewhere — and the rest ...

New research led by a team from the University of Glasgow is shedding light on how specifically targeted pulses of magnetic stimulation to the brain can improve episodic memory. The work found ...

For applications like robotics, there's usually a clear division of labor between the processors that control the robot's body and the actuators that actually control the physical changes of that body ...

Vinod M. Menon and his research group at The City College of New York shows that trapping light inside magnetic materials may dramatically enhance their intrinsic properties. Strong optical responses ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have made unexpected progress toward developing a new optical memory that can quickly and energy-efficiently store and ...

Researchers demonstrate a new strategy for magnetization reversal in multiferroic materials, opening pathways to more energy-efficient electronics. (Nanowerk News) As the digital world demands greater ...

Computers and smartphones have different kinds of memory, which vary in speed and power efficiency depending on where they are used in the system. Typically, larger computers, especially those in data ...

The companies say MRAM, or magnetic random access memory, a leading candidate to replace flash memory in cell phones, could be ready for commercial production by 2005. Michael Kanellos is editor at ...
