This new type of optical memory unit,called a programmable photonic latch, is fast and scalable. It could offer a high-speed silicon photonics solution for volatile memory. WASHINGTON — Researchers ...

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 ...

Today we’re going to trace the history of these storage technologies. So we’ve talked about computer memory a couple times in this series, but what we haven’t talked about is storage. Data written to ...

The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed comes from its clock, a timing ...
