Computers and smartphones have different kinds of memory, which vary in speed and power efficiency depending on where they are used in the system. Typically, larger computers, especially those in data ...

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 ...

Over on his blog our hacker [Scott Baker] has a Magnetic Bubble Memory Mega-Post. If you haven’t heard of magnetic bubble memory before it’s basically obsolete nonvolatile memory. Since the 1970s when ...

Japanese scientists have developed a spin-orbit torque magnetoresistive random-access memory (SOT-MRAM) device with the world’s lowest write power in a significant step toward energy-efficient, ...

Looking for a way to display your favorite photos, notes and paper keepsakes without adding more clutter to your fridge? You're in luck: One DIYer just cracked the code, and it costs less than $100 to ...

SOT-RAM, a promising type of next-generation magnetic memory, could pave the way to ultra-low-power electronics. However, scientists have identified a source of disturbance during the read operation ...

The companies say MRAM, or magnetic random access memory, a leading candidate to replace flash memory in cell phones, could be ready for commercial production by 2005. Michael Kanellos is editor at ...

When IBM sold its hard-drive business to Hitachi in April 2002, IBM fellow Stuart Parkin wondered what to do next. He had spent his career studying the fundamental physics of magnetic materials, ...

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 ...
