The boom in AI data center building has caused a shortage of memory chips which are also crucial for electronics like smartphones.

In "Memory of a Killer," Angelo Flannery (Dempsey) lives two totally separate lives. In New York City, he's a fearsome hitman employed by his pal Dutch (Michael Imperioli), an accomplished chef whose restaurant is a front for criminal enterprise, while in sleepy upstate Cooperstown, he's a copier salesman and father.

Patrick Dempsey’s new TV show, Memory of a Killer, sees him play a hitman with Alzheimers whose dual lives start to blur together.

Researchers have learned a lot about how memory works. Their insights form the basis of clever strategies that help us remember better. Here are four easy-to-use techniques.

A surprising new brain study suggests that remembering life events and recalling facts may rely on the same neural machinery.

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the Stowers Institute has identified the mechanism that makes a fleeting moment unforgettable.

There isn’t a hard line differentiating a false memory and simply misremembering where you put your keys. But, in general, false memories are completely made up rather than a small memory error. In the above beach example, misremembering that there were umbrellas doesn’t make the entire memory false.

The brain seeks novelty. Passive tasks can lead to skill decline. Challenging the brain with new learning, like a new language, may build cognitive reserve and memory confidence.
