Cambridge scientists have developed a new prototype for computer memory that could make for faster chips that could hold up to 100 times more data. The system is made up of barium bridges between ...

Computer memory and storage have always followed the Law of Closet Space. No matter how much you have, you shortly discover that it isn’t enough. So it’s good news that scientists in Switzerland are ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Comparing models of working memory with real-world data, researchers found that information resides not in persistent neural activity, but in the pattern of their connections. Between the time you ...

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 ...

The Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities in 2018 exposed computer memory as an easy target for hackers to inject malicious code and steal data. The aftermath spurred the adoption of memory-safe chips ...

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 ...

Scientists have identified a way in which the brain’s ability to process information diminishes with age, and shown that this break down contributes to the decreased ability to form memories that is ...
