The term memory in a computer system refers to devices that store information in the form of chips. There are two main types of physical memory in a computer system, Random Access Memory (RAM) and ...

Computer memory has taken on many forms over the years, from mercury-based delay-line tubes to handwoven magnetic core. These days, volatile storage using semiconductors has become ubiquitous with ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Storage and memory are both important parts of computers ...

A computer that relies on fungal mycelium to store information could one day be a low-cost alternative to the current generation of memory hardware. Using plain old shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula ...

In a bid to create smaller, more powerful computers and smartphones, researchers at New York University have come up with a new digital data storage technique they've dubbed "racetrack memory." There ...

A new paper published in PLOS One shows that mushrooms can act as the "memristors" required for many next-gen computing applications. Memristors could offer enormous speed boosts over traditional ...

Computer memory could one day withstand the blazing temperatures in fusion reactors, jet engines, geothermal wells and sweltering planets using a new solid-state memory device developed by a team of ...

Researchers at The Ohio State University have turned mushrooms into organic memory devices that mimic brain-like computing. The fungal circuits, powered by shiitake and button mushrooms, can switch ...
