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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A squishy, layered material that dramatically transforms under pressure could someday help computers store more data with less energy. That's according to a new study that shows a hybrid zinc ...

Researchers have developed a new method for disrupting the crystal structure of a semiconductor that requires as little as one billion times less power density. This advancement could unlock wider ...

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 ...

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; ...

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 ...
