Scientists have created the world's thinnest magnet, just one atom thick, which could revolutionize computer memory in the ...

A magnetic skyrmion is smaller than a virus, tougher to kill than most magnetic signals, and, if a growing body of laboratory research pans out, could one day store data using a fraction of the energy ...

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 ...

Over on his blog our hacker [Scott Baker] has a Magnetic Bubble Memory Mega-Post. If you haven’t heard of magnetic bubble memory before it’s basically obsolete nonvolatile memory. Since the 1970s when ...

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, ...

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 ...

SNIA announces the MRAM Alliance Special Interest Group to support a developing ecosystem for MRAM memory for many consumer, ...

One of the nice things about magnetic storage is that as long as the magnetic layer remains intact, the data it contains ...

Scientists want to replace electrons with so-called 'nanobubbles' — or skyrmions — to store data more densely and efficiently in advanced components that would replace RAM and flash storage. When you ...

Here's an interesting one that we're still trying to get our heads around: Researchers at the Physical and Technical Institute (PTB) in Braunschweig, Germany have discovered that heat -- waste heat -- ...

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 ...
