Samsungs Phase-change Memory (pram)

Samsungs phase change memory (PRAM) gets a press release: On the heel of last weeks missing of the 1gb, 45nm phase change memory deadline by Numonyx (ie, Micron, ie intel), comes the announcement that Samsung Electronics, a Numonyx competitor in the PCM memory arena, is planning on shipping a nonvolatile multichip pram package for smartphones [...]

Corsair Components Memory files for 86 mill IPO

Corsair Components Inc., post-IPO to be known as “CRSR”, is well known amongst custom hardware tinkerers and gamers for high speed DRAM memory modules, flash drives, power supply units, solid state drives (SSD), cooling systems, and other modular peripherals around PC gaming hardware. On friday, they filed to raise up to $86.25 million in an [...]

Leon Chua wins 2010 Guggenheim Award

Leon O. Chua has been awarded one of the 2010 Guggenheim Awards for “brainlike memristor circuits”, in his current position as a professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at UC Berkeley (where he has been on faculty since 1971), and for his further work in neural networks, chaos and nonlinear circuits: Mr. Leon O. [...]

Ultrathin Brain-Computer Interfaces advance

A study published recently in the April issue of Nature Materials has shown some advances in the area of creating better interfaces for sensing neurological and brain neural activity. In the study, neurologists implanted a silk based, ultrathin Brain Computer Interface mesh onto the visual processing area of a cats brain. “Dissolvable films of silk [...]

Low Power NanoCrossbar Resistives Memory, Nature Journal

Scientists from the Jülich-Aachen Research Alliance (JARA) have a new paper coming out in Nature Materials journal with the title “Complementary resistive switches for passive nanocrossbar memories”. The Complementary Resistive Switch in the paper is stated to provide a solution to the problem of crosstalk between memristive cells adjacent to each other in a memristive [...]

Memristor Applications

What Memristive applications are on the horizon, and how close are they to reality? We look at a survey of memristor applications and technology, starting from what the first devices will look like, and where they might go. This reference page will be updated as advances in each of the areas are made. – Non-volatile [...]
