From punch cards to magnetic cores to individual iron atoms, the history of computer memory reveals a fundamental principle: information storage always requires physical space, and we're rapidly ...

There's a RAM shortage at the moment. RAM, as in random access memory. The memory computer keeps immediately at hand, so it can perform tasks quickly. How can that be? Well, as with so much these days ...

The soaring cost and limited supply of computer memory is slowing some projects — and spurring creative approaches.

Cambridge scientists have developed a new prototype for computer memory that could make for faster chips that could hold up to 100 times more data. The system is made up of barium bridges between ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...
