A team of Spanish and French scientists have finally found a way of reading and writing magnetic memory without using magnetic fields and coils of wire. Instead of using a magnetic "head" to read and ...

Most present-day forms of fast, random access computer memory (RAM) are based on the presence or absence of an electrical charge to indicate a “1” or a “0.” This memory is truly fast, with readily ...

There are all kinds of technology that appear through the ages that find immediate success, promise to revolutionize the world, but fade to obscurity almost as quickly. Things like the ZIP disk, RDRAM ...

No matter how memory technology marches on, magnetic core memory is still cool. Radiation-hard, nonvolatile, and so pretty. What’s there not to love? [Mark Nesselhaus] is no stranger to fun ...

In a recently published article in IEEE Electron Devices Magazine the authors, I was one of them, looked at the impact of external magnetic fields on spin tunnel torque magnetic random-access memories ...

Concept of the helimagnet-based memory devices. The directions of the atomic magnetic moments, depicted by the colored allows, are arranged into a spiral. Chirality, the right- and left-handed ...

It is anticipated that within just a few decades, the surging volume of digital data will constitute one of the world's largest energy consumers. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, ...

Infineon Technologies AG and IBM Corp. have demonstrated a prototype 16Mb MRAM (magnetic RAM) chip, bringing the power-saving technology one step closer to commercial availability, the companies said ...

Magnetic memory techniques have emerged as a promising non‐destructive evaluation (NDE) approach to assess the stress state and detect early damage in ferromagnetic materials. By utilising the ...
