Figure 1. Illustrations of the ultra-low power phase change memory device developed through this study and the comparison of power consumption by the newly developed phase change memory device ...

Forward-looking: Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in South Korea have developed a new type of phase change memory that isn't subject to the shortcoming of ...

A long-running problem in the computer world is that DRAM is the fastest memory available but also volatile, so it can't hold onto its data when power is shut off. This makes it useless for data ...

Phase change materials (PCMs) and thin films occupy a prominent place in advanced materials research due to their unique ability to reversibly alter their structure and properties under external ...

Ritesh Agrawal poses with some of the equipment used in studying the new process, which dramatically lowers the energy cost of amorphization, bringing phase-change memory devices closer to commercial ...
