Computer memory and storage have always followed the Law of Closet Space. No matter how much you have, you shortly discover that it isn’t enough. So it’s good news that scientists in Switzerland are ...

IBM research called “racetrack memory” greatly expands storage capabilities by storing data as a magnetic pattern on a nanowire 1,000 times finer than a human hair. An IBM research breakthrough could ...

At this week’s IEEE International Electron Devices meeting, IBM demonstrated a breakthrough in “racetrack” memory technology, a nonvolatile method of storing data as magnetic patterns on tiny wires.

IBM is developing a type of memory that it says could one day be faster and more reliable than today’s hard drives and flash memory. Called “racetrack,” it is a solid-state memory that aims to combine ...

IBM Fellow Parkin and colleagues have published two papers in the April 11 issue of Science that detail a breakthrough in "metal spintronics" that overcomes the complexity and expense of storing ...

A new technical paper titled “Three-dimensional racetrack memory devices designed from freestanding magnetic heterostructures” was published by researchers at Max Planck Institute of Microstructure ...

A new model provides a path to increasing read/write speed and efficiency of racetrack memories —a leading contender to replace flash devices.

A new study reveals that insulating buffer layers are no longer needed for ultrathin magnetic racetrack devices, unlocking new paths for seamless integration with functional substrates. (Nanowerk News ...

A technical paper titled “ERMES: Efficient Racetrack Memory Emulation System based on FPGA” was written by researchers at University of Calabria and TU Dresden. “This paper presents a new emulation ...
