Researchers created a tiny memory device that improves as it gets smaller, breaking a key limitation in electronics. This ...

Long gone are the days where all our data could fit on a two-megabyte floppy disk. In today's information-based society, the increasing volume of information being handled demands that we switch to ...

Shape-memory metals, which can revert from one shape to a different one simply by being warmed or otherwise triggered, have been useful in a variety of applications, as actuators that can control the ...

Materials can store information about their past—like a crease in a piece of paper that has been unfolded is a "memory" of ...

A new kind of memory device may finally solve the problem of overheating and battery drain in electronics. By shrinking ...

The Chalmers researchers used a novel, atomically thin material in tiny memory devices, here seen as clusters of golden dots on the top of the chip. The material combines two opposing magnetic forces ...

Researchers at EPFL have discovered a material that seems to be able to “remember” all of its past encounters with stimuli, such as electrical currents. The compound could come in handy for better ...

Engineers have created shape-memory materials made of ceramic rather than of traditional metal. The development opens a new range of applications, especially for actuators in high-temperature settings ...

Researchers develop atom-thin material that cuts memory energy use tenfold, opening the door to ultra-efficient AI, mobile tech and data processing. (Nanowerk News) Memory units are essential ...
