A computer that relies on fungal mycelium to store information could one day be a low-cost alternative to the current generation of memory hardware. Using plain old shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

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 ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...

A research team, led by the University of Cambridge, has developed a novel computer memory design, which promises to significantly improve performance while reducing the energy demands of internet and ...

A new design for computer memory that could both greatly improve performance and reduce the energy demands of internet and communications technologies, which are predicted to consume nearly a third of ...

When buying a PC, it’s not just one single component that counts, like the best graphics card or the most powerful CPU. Instead, you need to consider many individual parts when making your decision.

One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing.

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...

We all know that enabling Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP) can boost your system’s RAM speed. However, we have noticed that sometimes, XMP fails to work. Enabling XMP has no effect on RAM’s speed, which ...
