Smarter memory: Researchers introduce next-generation RAM with reduced energy consumption

Numerous memory types for computing devices have emerged in recent years, aiming to overcome the limitations imposed by traditional random access memory (RAM). Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) is one such memory type which offers several advantages over conventional RAM, including its non-volatility, high speed, increased storage capacity and enhanced endurance. Although remarkable improvements have been made to MRAM devices, reducing energy consumption during data writing remains a critical challenge. A study published in Advanced Science by researchers from Osaka University proposes a new technology for MRAM devices with lower-energy data writing. The proposed technology enables an electric-field-based writing scheme with reduced energy consumption compared to the present current-based approach, potentially providing an alternative to traditional RAM.

It's been a while, but April Fool's stops for no one!

I'd recently gotten a new computer and hadn't had the chance to do much art on it until now, so what better Digimon to use for my first drawing here than DORUmon, a Rookie thought to be a "Prototype Digimon" thanks to the old Digicore Interface on its head!

This assumption is further backed up by its name, as "DORU" is an acronym for "Digital OR Unknown Monsters", meaning it was probably one of the first Digimon discovered and/or created. Apparently the amount of combat related data in DORUmon is so high, it often bites at everything, which might just help it unlock the potential within itself through battle...

i hate cloud storage. no i do not want to save my data on a computer that is somewhere else. i want my data with me. on MY computer. i'm not trusting it on a corp computer

Battery-like computer memory keeps working above 1,000°F

Computer memory could one day withstand the blazing temperatures in fusion reactors, jet engines, geothermal wells and sweltering planets using a new solid-state memory device developed by a team of engineers led by the University of Michigan. Unlike conventional silicon-based memory, the new device can store and rewrite information at temperatures over 1,100°F (600°C)—hotter than the surface of Venus and the melting temperature of lead. It was developed in collaboration with researchers at Sandia National Laboratory. "It could enable electronic devices that didn't exist for high-temperature applications before," said Yiyang Li, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering and the senior corresponding author of the study published today in the journal Device.
