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 ...

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 ...

For years, emerging memory technologies such as MRAM, ReRAM, FeRAM, and PCM have been pitched as game-changing solutions, combining the persistence of Flash with the speed and endurance of DRAM. These ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Firstly, a brief introduction was given to commonly used two-dimensional materials, including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC), black phosphorus (BP), and hexagonal boron nitride ...
