One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing.

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 ...

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 ...

Materials with high magnetoelectric coupling could be useful in novel devices such as magnetic computer memories, chemical sensors and quantum computers. When researchers irradiate a thin layer of ...

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, ...
