Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. This is the third in a set of four blogs about projections for digital storage and memory for the following year that we have been ...

Non-volatile memory is an important component in a wide range of high-performance embedded applications. Especially, many consumer, industrial, and medical applications need increased re-writability ...

Ferroic materials such as ferromagnets and ferroelectrics underpin modern data storage, yet face limits: They switch slowly, or suffer from unstable polarization due to depolarizing fields ...

Terahertz light can reversibly switch an unusual form of structural order in solids—called ferroaxiality—between clockwise and counterclockwise rotational patterns. Modern society relies on digital ...

From punch card-operated looms in the 1800s to modern cellphones, if an object has an "on" and an "off" state, it can be used to store information. In a computer laptop, the binary ones and zeroes are ...

Spintronics exploits the spin of electrons in addition to their charge, enabling memory devices that combine non-volatility, high speed and low energy consumption. Central to this field are magnetic ...

What is PCMO ReRAM? Difference between filamentary and PCMO ReRAM. Why tunable persistence is important. The idea of non-volatile, resistive RAM (ReRAM) has been around for a while. Its aim is to ...

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 ...

The demand for embedded flash memory has grown steeply over the years as many new applications emerged in consumer electronics (touchscreens, smart cards, bank cards, mobile payment, e-passport, etc.) ...

Researchers achieved ultrafast, stable switching of ferroaxial states using polarized terahertz light, paving the way for next-gen data storage. (Nanowerk News) Ferroic materials such as ferromagnets ...
