Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. This is the second in a set of four blogs about projections for digital storage and memory for the following year that we have ...

Non-volatile memory is an important component in a wide range of high-performance embedded applications. Especially, many consumer, industrial, and medical applications need increased re-writability ...

Spintronics exploits the spin of electrons in addition to their charge, enabling memory devices that combine non-volatility, high speed and low energy consumption. Central to this field are magnetic ...

Spintronic memory work at Tokyo uses Mn3Sn to switch in 40 ps, pointing to faster, lower-power non-volatile devices.

Terahertz light can reversibly switch an unusual form of structural order in solids—called ferroaxiality—between clockwise and counterclockwise rotational patterns. Modern society relies on digital ...

Device achieves picosecond-scale speeds without heat.

For years, emerging memory technologies such as MRAM, ReRAM, FeRAM, and PCM have been pitched as game-changing solutions, combining the persistence of Flash with the speed and endurance of DRAM. These ...

A long-running problem in the computer world is that DRAM is the fastest memory available but also volatile, so it can't hold onto its data when power is shut off. This makes it useless for data ...

The demand for embedded flash memory has grown steeply over the years as many new applications emerged in consumer electronics (touchscreens, smart cards, bank cards, mobile payment, e-passport, etc.) ...

Researchers achieved ultrafast, stable switching of ferroaxial states using polarized terahertz light, paving the way for next-gen data storage. (Nanowerk News) Ferroic materials such as ferromagnets ...
