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 ...

Rice University physicists have discovered a phase-changing quantum material—and a method for finding more like it—that could potentially be used to create flash-like memory capable of storing quantum ...

Ongoing innovation in semiconductor technologies, algorithms and data science are making it possible to incorporate some degree of AI inferencing capability in an increasing number of edge devices.

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 ...

Non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies have transformed the memory hierarchy by offering byte-addressable persistence alongside high density and low idle power. Unlike conventional dynamic ...

The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...

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 ...

Shanghai-based researchers from Fudan University have achieved a breakthrough in semiconductor technology by developing a picosecond-level flash memory device. This device is said to boast an ...

The demand for embedded flash memory has grown steeply over the years as many new applications emerged in consumer electronics (touchscreens, smart cards, bank cards, mobile payment, e-passport, etc.) ...

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 ...

What is PCMO ReRAM? Difference between filamentary and PCMO ReRAM. Why tunable persistence is important. The idea of non-volatile, resistive RAM (ReRAM) has been around for a while. Its aim is to ...
