Researchers have developed a new type of memory cell that can both store information and do high-speed, high-efficiency calculations. The memory cell enables users to run high-speed computations ...

So, is your memory bad, or just fine? Memory is at the very heart of who we are, but it's surprisingly complex once we start looking at how it all fits together. In fact, there's more than one type of ...

Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain's hippocampus that store memories of specific locations. These cells also play an important role in storing memories of events, ...

An artist’s representation of a hole etched into alternating layers of silicon oxide and silicon nitride using plasma, to make 3D NAND flash memory. Researchers want to refine how they make these ...

Memory is a single word for a complicated brain process that actually takes many different forms. So what exactly is “memory,” and how can you keep your memory strong? You’ve likely heard of the two ...

Scientists now know that while we snooze, our brains help solidify the memories we made during the day. In this Special Feature, we investigate whether simple techniques might help improve memory ...
