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 ...

Forward-looking: Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in South Korea have developed a new type of phase change memory that isn't subject to the shortcoming of ...

Figure 1. Illustrations of the ultra-low power phase change memory device developed through this study and the comparison of power consumption by the newly developed phase change memory device ...

Stackable PCMs' better bandwidth and greater density means it has the potential to create products that replace DRAM, NOR, and NAND flash memory Intel and Numonyx announced a breakthrough in the ...

Phase change materials (PCMs) and thin films occupy a prominent place in advanced materials research due to their unique ability to reversibly alter their structure and properties under external ...

Coughlin Associates and Objective Analysis released their 2024 report on emerging non-volatile memories, A Deep Look at New Memories. These memories include magnetic random access memory, MRAM; ...

Ritesh Agrawal poses with some of the equipment used in studying the new process, which dramatically lowers the energy cost of amorphization, bringing phase-change memory devices closer to commercial ...

A new technical paper titled “Phase-Change Memory for In-Memory Computing” was published by researchers at IBM Research-Europe. “We review the current state of phase-change materials, PCM device ...
