Memory

Immune cells hold their memory of how to respond to
allergens in a surprising way.

Thin
layers of iron and cobalt show promise as material for fast, low-energy hard
drives

Children
born to mothers with diabetes during pregnancy are at risk of developing
attention problems

Controlling memory with
electric fields enables faster and more energy-efficient computing

A phase-change material with unexpected optical-reflectivity properties offers fresh perspectives for data storage

A model that shows how connections in the brain must change to form memories could help to develop artificial cognitive computers

Using the correct annealing temperature is key to making fast, non-volatile computer memory

Magnetic random-access memory based on new spin transfer technology achieves higher storage density by packing multiple bits of data into each memory cell

Vertical silicon nanowires prove to be an excellent platform for nonvolatile memory devices without the need for doped junctions

Better insulation makes phase-change memory work faster and more efficiently

Nonvolatile memory based on ferroelectric–graphene field-effect transistors is now a step closer to reality

Electric fields can help magnetic hard drive heads write data, which may lead to higher storage densities
