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 ...

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 ...

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

The rapid evolution of persistent memory (PM) technologies has spurred a significant shift in how data structures and algorithms are designed and implemented. Persistent memory, offering ...

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 idea of combining memory and storage into one component has been around for a long time, but up until now, it was nowhere near becoming a reality. However, that might be about to change.

New chip making techniques, faster SSD storage, and the use of AI and machine learning are some of the latest innovations helping increase the performance and efficiency of modern computers, and now a ...

In this interview, Arnaud Furnémont, vice president of R&D memory and compute at imec, reviews imec’s memory and storage roadmaps and explains how these respond to the industry’s need for ever more ...

RAM consists of a grid of memory cells, each capable of storing a small amount of data, typically one bit (binary digit) or a few bits. These cells are organized into rows and columns, forming a ...

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 ...
