Researchers in the U.K. have made a new kind of nanoscale memory component that could someday be used to pack more data into gadgets. The device stores bits of information using the conductance of ...

The world of computer memory has been approaching an interesting crossroads. Most people are aware that we are rapidly approaching fundamental limits with both magnetic storage mediums like the hard ...

It may grab fewer headlines than processor design or RAM, but non-volatile memory has been a mainstay of Intel's product line for decades. As well as being found in BIOS chips for PCs, the technology ...

Though smartphones and tablets are hailed as the hardware of the future, their present-day incarnations have some flaws. Most notoriously, low RAM memory limits the number of applications that can be ...

A new type of nonvolatile memory based on carbon nanotubes has dramatically lower power requirements than current technology. It uses the nanotubes to read and write data to small islands of ...

New semiconductor applications are ever changing and improving our lives, from new smartphones and wearables to healthcare, factory automation, and artificial intelligence. The humble memory chip ...

Flash memory has deeply penetrated consumer goods with its rising densities and falling price/bit. But new technologies will try to replace it. Flash memory is on a roll. It has gone from a backup, ...

This molecular memory transistor, which can be as small as one nanometer, stores and disseminates information at high speed — and it’s ready to be produced at existing high-tech fabrication facilities ...
