A team of Spanish and French scientists have finally found a way of reading and writing magnetic memory without using magnetic fields and coils of wire. Instead of using a magnetic "head" to read and ...

Most present-day forms of fast, random access computer memory (RAM) are based on the presence or absence of an electrical charge to indicate a “1” or a “0.” This memory is truly fast, with readily ...

No matter how memory technology marches on, magnetic core memory is still cool. Radiation-hard, nonvolatile, and so pretty. What’s there not to love? [Mark Nesselhaus] is no stranger to fun ...

A team of researchers has proposed a new concept for magnet-based memory devices that might revolutionize information storage devices due to their potential for large-scale integration, non-volatility ...

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 ...

Everspin Technologies is gaining attention as specialized memory, chip-market pressure, and small-cap market shifts bring renewed focus to niche semiconductor names.

As artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital services continue to expand, the world is facing a growing need for faster and more energy-efficient ways to store and process information. A ...

It is anticipated that within just a few decades, the surging volume of digital data will constitute one of the world's largest energy consumers. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, ...

Everspin has launched new MRAM modules that fit a standard DDR3 socket. It's a significant step forward for MRAM technology, and a noteworthy goal post in the quest for a replacement for both ...

RAM consists of a grid of memory cells, each capable of storing a small amount of data, typically one bit (binary digit) or a few bits. These cells are organized into rows and columns, forming a ...

Infineon Technologies AG and IBM Corp. have demonstrated a prototype 16Mb MRAM (magnetic RAM) chip, bringing the power-saving technology one step closer to commercial availability, the companies said ...
