How does computer memory work? To truly understand how computer memory works, we must first examine the basic building blocks that make it possible: transistors and logic gates.

The exhibit focuses on the elements of memory, the engineering components and day-in-the-life of working at Micron, said Kochian. Rather than having a step by step rundown of what a chip is or how ...

Semiconductor chips are electronic devices that store and process information. Today they can contain billions of microscopic switches on a chip smaller than a fingernail.

Switch the power off, though, and this chip will forget everything. Devices therefore contain other, different sorts of chips that work as a memory.

New memory chips that are transparent, flexible enough to be folded like a sheet of paper, shrug off 1,000-degree Fahrenheit temperatures -- twice as hot as the max in a kitchen oven -- and ...

Micron Technology is the only remaining US maker of DRAM, the short-term memory chips found in computers and smartphones.

SEOUL—Samsung Electronics said it was on track to ramp up sales of its latest specialized memory chips for artificial-intelligence computing after suffering delays that left it behind industry ...

A silicon disc, or 'wafer,' yields dozens of semiconductor chips. Steve Jurvetson/Wikimedia Commons, CC BYSemiconductors are a critical part of almost every modern electronic device, and the vast ...
