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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from Stanford University, TSMC, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and University of Maryland developed a new phase-change memory for future AI and data-centric systems ...

Phase change materials (PCMs) and thin films occupy a prominent place in advanced materials research due to their unique ability to reversibly alter their structure and properties under external ...

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; ...

For several decades, the semiconductor industry has been looking for alternative memory technologies to fill the gap between dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), the compute system’s main memory, and ...
