On the heels of the worldwide financial recession, (perhaps youve heard of it), chip-maker Spansion, a maker of flash-memory chips, has filed for bankruptcy: Spansion shares have lost more than 98 percent of their value over the last year as the tech sector’s problems deepened, closing on Friday at just 5 cents.

arXiv.org is reporting in their Condensed Matter > Strongly Correlated Electrons taxonomy a new paper out of UCSD demonstrating phase-transition driven memristive systems using thin-film vanadium dioxides: Here, we demonstrate memristive response in a thin film of Vanadium Dioxide. This behavior is driven by the insulator-to-metal phase transition typical of this oxide. We discuss several […]
Aside from the fear of invisible androids, a recent paper at Applied Physics Letters on the possibility of transparent resistive memory, or TRRAM, adds another item to the infinite task list of “what can we do with this?”: . This report covers the fabrication of a fully transparent resistive random access memory (TRRAM) device based […]
Intels Flash Memory drive, as in, Intels drive into the flash memory market, started out this month with the release of their X25-M and X25-E SSD’s, and they look impressive. The X25-E is primarily designed for enterprise applications with a lower 75ms read latency, while the 25-M, designed for the consumer and laptop market, has […]
In the field of SSD enterprise-level flash drives, IBM Research has hit a new benchmark. Based on their own SAN Volume Controller SVC, and using SSD developed by Fusion-io, their project Quicksilver surpassed the 1 million IOPS threshold. From their press release, The results were achieved using Flash solid-state technology coupled with IBM’s industry leading, […]
Emerging technology provides a unique opportunity to introduce science within education. The development of Memristors, the fourth passive component type after resistors, capacitors and inductors, along with other Solid State memory devices, takes us one step further to creating cheap, powerful, distributed solutions for sensing and processing.
