08 April, 2009 byLexar Media has further increased the capacity of its Platinum II flash memory card range with the Platinum II 60x 16 GB secure digital high-capacity (SDHC) card and an 80x 16 GB CompactFlash card.
Clear future for memory
02 April, 2009A group of scientists at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have fabricated a working computer chip that is almost completely clear — the first of its kind.
16 GB flash drive
01 April, 2009 byLexar Media has announced the hot red 16 GB capacity JumpDriveFirefly USB flash drive. It is PC and Mac compatible and comes in four different colours, each representing a different memory capacity.
Making memory smaller
01 April, 2009The long-term trend that has persisted in the computer industry since the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958 has been for the hardware to become smaller and smaller. But scientists believe that conventional miniaturisation processes could soon reach their fundamental limits.
European memory research
02 March, 2009To explore solutions to overcome the scaling limitations of conventional flash memory, IMEC, a European research organisation, has started research activities on resistive RAM (RRAM) cells.
EEPROM modules
01 August, 2008Microchip has announced a series of serial presence detect EEPROM devices that support the latest double data rate 2 (DDR2) DIMM modules used in PCs, as well as future DDR3 DIMM modules.
Mac memory kits
01 July, 2008Kingston has released DDR2-800 fully buffered dual-inline memory (FB-DIMM) specifically designed and validated for Apple Mac Pro workstations and Xserve server systems.
Notebook memory
01 July, 2008Kingston Technology claims to be the first to offer high-performance, low-latency DDR2-667 SO-DIMM notebook memory.
What's at the end of the rainbow?
10 March, 2008British scientists have revealed a system called 'trapping rainbows' that may be able to slow down, stop and even capture light
Mass production of memory technology
27 March, 2006Samsung Electronics, a manufacturer of advanced memory technology, has claimed it is the first manufacturer in the industry to begin mass producing DDR2 DRAM - 512 Megabit (Mb) - on an 80 nanometer (nm) scale.
90 nm SDRAM
12 April, 2005Samsung Electronics has announced what it claims is the industry's first mass production of 90 nm 512 Mb DDR SDRAM on 300 mm base wafers.
Memory roadmap shows the way
05 September, 2004Semiconductor manufacturers are busily trying to anticipate what the future market will demand of them. Toshiba is just one company that is looking into the future and it has outlined what it sees in its latest 'strategic memory roadmaps'
A memory to replace memory
05 July, 2004Magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) is a memory technology that can potentially replace today's semiconductor memory technologies. The increasing capability of electronic devices is driving a growing need for increased memory performance
Multilevel molecular memory
17 March, 2004In conventional memory cells a bit of information is either a zero or one.(In hypothetical quantum computers, a bit could be both a zero and a one at the same time, but that kind of nimble balancing is years away from exploitation and so bits continue to be bi-level.) In the meantime one way of cramming more data into a fixed lateral region on a data storage device, other than shrinking the cell's size, is to store more than one bit in each memory cell. This is one goal of molecular electronics (or moletronics) where, for instance one would like to store information in the form of parcels of charge placed at several active sites around a single molecule.
