All the latest science news on computer memory chips from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Eight-year-old Spin Memory, based in Fremont, California, is advancing the state of the art in a form of computer-memory chip known as "MRAM," for "magnetoresistive random access memory." ...

By processing data in parallel, computer chips modeled after the human brain could perform certain tasks, such as pattern recognition, faster and more energy-efficiently than traditional computers.

Memory chips will play an increasingly important role in the US and global economy and our economic and national security policies should begin to reflect this reality.

A new computer chip developed at EPFL uses a 2D material to perform both logic operations and memory storage ...

Electrons are quick, but they’re not quick enough — in fact they’re holding back the speed of modern computing. Now, a team has developed the world’s first ever light-based memory chip ...

Prices of the chips are expected to keep falling in the first half of 2023, putting more pressure on an industry that has already cut investments and jobs.

Our brains create new memories, and forget old ones, by forging and breaking connections between nerve cells. Now researchers can do something similar using a light-sensitive electronic chip.

A pair of brain-inspired cognitive computer chips unveiled today could be a new leap forward — or at least a major fork in the road — in the world of computer architecture and artificial ...

Meanwhile, the non-forgetful transistors used in a computer’s permanent form of memory are too slow to make useful processors. To make a chip which can do both has led some scientists to look at ...
