AI companies’ need for a once obscure and affordable type of microchip threatens to drive up prices of all electronics—and ...

Electronic devices power everyday life, from smartphones to medical sensors. Yet, as these gadgets grow in number, so does the mounting challenge of electronic waste, or e-waste. Physically transient ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The human brain processes complex information while consuming merely the power of a dim light bulb. This remarkable efficiency stems from synapses, the connections between brain ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the layered multiferroic material nickel iodide (NiI2) may be the best candidate yet for devices such as magnetic computer memory that are extremely fast and compact ...

Ultra-heat resistant computer storage can operate at Venus-like temperatures and may be used in extreme conditions such as nuclear plants and even for future NASA missions. When you purchase through ...

Computer memory could one day withstand the blazing temperatures in fusion reactors, jet engines, geothermal wells and sweltering planets using a new solid-state memory device developed by a team of ...

Researchers have developed a new type of memory device that they say could reduce the energy consumption of artificial intelligence (AI) by at least 1,000. Called computational random-access memory ...

Illustration of the similarity between a CuMnAs-based antiferromagnetic analog memory device and a biological synapse. As electronic devices generate increasing amounts of waste heat, interest in ...

A new study reveals that insulating buffer layers are no longer needed for ultrathin magnetic racetrack devices, unlocking new paths for seamless integration with functional substrates. Modern ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...
