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 ...

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 ...

Magnetic memory techniques have emerged as a promising non‐destructive evaluation (NDE) approach to assess the stress state and detect early damage in ferromagnetic materials. By utilising the ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By ...

Scientists at the University of Manchester have discovered that placing magnetic films on atomically thin molybdenum ...

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 ...

Scientists want to replace electrons with so-called 'nanobubbles' — or skyrmions — to store data more densely and efficiently in advanced components that would replace RAM and flash storage. When you ...

The unique properties of shape-memory alloys such as nitinol have lent themselves to a variety of applications across numerous industries, including medical devices. These common shape-memory alloys, ...
