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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Concept of the helimagnet-based memory devices. The directions of the atomic magnetic moments, depicted by the colored allows, are arranged into a spiral. Chirality, the right- and left-handed ...

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 ...

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, ...
