The Chalmers researchers used a novel, atomically thin material in tiny memory devices, here seen as clusters of golden dots on the top of the chip. The material combines two opposing magnetic forces ...

Researchers reveal how memory materials switch electricity on and off by melting and freezing tellurium in nano-devices, enabling faster, energy-efficient semiconductor design. (Nanowerk News) As ...

Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling with the challenge of creating a shape-memory ceramic that can be manufactured ...

Monash University researchers have captured the exact atomic movements that write data to next-generation memory devices, which could pave the way for smaller, faster and more energy-efficient ...

Shape-memory polymers are particularly intriguing: These materials can switch between two states -- a harder, low-temperature, amorphous state, and a soft, high-temperature, rubbery state. The bent ...

As artificial intelligence advances, computers demand faster and more efficient memory. The key to ultra-high-speed, low-power semiconductors lies in the "switching" principle—the mechanism by which ...

Researchers develop atom-thin material that cuts memory energy use tenfold, opening the door to ultra-efficient AI, mobile tech and data processing. (Nanowerk News) Memory units are essential ...
