A team of Spanish and French scientists have finally found a way of reading and writing magnetic memory without using magnetic fields and coils of wire. Instead of using a magnetic "head" to read and ...

No matter how memory technology marches on, magnetic core memory is still cool. Radiation-hard, nonvolatile, and so pretty. What’s there not to love? [Mark Nesselhaus] is no stranger to fun ...

There are all kinds of technology that appear through the ages that find immediate success, promise to revolutionize the world, but fade to obscurity almost as quickly. Things like the ZIP disk, RDRAM ...

Concept of the helimagnet-based memory devices. The directions of the atomic magnetic moments, depicted by the colored allows, are arranged into a spiral. Chirality, the right- and left-handed ...

Scientists want to replace electrons with so-called 'nanobubbles' — or skyrmions — to store data more densely and efficiently in advanced components that would replace RAM and flash storage. When you ...

Magnetization switching remains one of the central applications of spintronic devices. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. "Useful devices, such as magnetic memory or ...

It is anticipated that within just a few decades, the surging volume of digital data will constitute one of the world's largest energy consumers. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, ...

Here's an interesting one that we're still trying to get our heads around: Researchers at the Physical and Technical Institute (PTB) in Braunschweig, Germany have discovered that heat -- waste heat -- ...
