The soaring cost and limited supply of computer memory is slowing some projects — and spurring creative approaches.

Growing older often comes with the expectation of memory loss. By age 80, the average person recalls far fewer words on standard memory tests than they did in middle age. Scientists long assumed this ...

A new comedic play and a 20-year neurology study explore what we can do to prevent dementia and cognitive decline.

Erasing a memory like throwing away an old receipt? Forgetting a difficult breakup like deleting an old voicemail? It's an idea that makes you dream, or even shudder. This "science fiction fantasy" is ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the layered multiferroic material nickel iodide (NiI2) may be the best candidate yet for devices such as magnetic computer memory that are extremely fast and compact ...

Think about the last time you studied for an exam. You probably read your notes, went through textbooks, maybe even watched a few videos. Yet, when the paper was placed before you, your mind went ...

Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations -- it's a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few ...

UD’s Tingyi Gu receives NSF CAREER award to study materials that can create more reliable, less energy-intensive forms of computer memory To develop the types of high-speed, energy-efficient ...

Has this ever happened to you? You’re having dinner with your family or friends. Suddenly, your beverage gets knocked over, and it spills all over the table, making a mess. Think back to that moment.

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 ...
