As existing scaling methods for memory and logic (CPUs) come to an end, researchers have been searching for next-generation alternatives to conventional DRAM and circuit design. Phase change memory ...

Past neuroscience research has pinpointed many of the neural processes through which the human brain forms, stores and retrieves important information, such as domain-specific knowledge and memories.

Memory is no longer just supporting infrastructure; it's now become a primary determinant of system performance, cost and ...

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 ...

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 ...
