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 ...

If you've ever been computer shopping, you'll undoubtedly have heard the term RAM thrown around willy-nilly. You might know a few things about RAM, such as that it's one of the most important parts in ...

A sheet of graphene sandwiched between electrolytes can host independently tunable proton and electron currents — setting the stage for a device that serves both computer-memory and logic functions.

Stanford, CMU, Penn, MIT, and SkyWater Technology reached a major milestone by producing the first monolithic 3D chip ...

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 ...

Microsoft’s latest “AI” computers come with a special new version of Windows that remembers everything you do on your PC. It’s called Recall, and the feature is meant to help you find that webpage, ...

If you’ve been shopping for a new computer this year and felt a little sticker shock, you’re not imagining things.
