Notebook memory
01 July, 2008Kingston Technology claims to be the first to offer high-performance, low-latency DDR2-667 SO-DIMM notebook memory.
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.
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.
Memory device may archive data
12 February, 2004Engineers at Princeton University and Hewlett-Packard have invented a combination of materials that could lead to cheap and super-compact electronic memory devices for archiving digital images or other data.
Smaller, simpler way to archive data
17 November, 2003Engineers at Princeton University and Hewlett-Packard have invented a combination of materials that could lead to inexpensive, compact electronic memory devices for archiving digital images or other data.
Formation of storage networking association
22 September, 2003The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) has approved the formation of SNIA (Australia and New Zealand) Ltd as a regional affiliate. The organisation will develop educational and marketing programs to promote the use of storage networking solutions to IT professionals via the working together of vendors, developers and integrators.
Faster FeRAM on the way
03 September, 2003Epson is developing a ferroelectric material for ferroelectric random-access memory (FeRAM), a next generation type of memory. The new material has been tentatively named PZTN.
Higher electronic storage capacities
03 June, 2003Texas Instruments has announced that it is working with Cornice Inc on a 1.5 GB storage element (SE). The SE, a 2.54 cm, high-capacity, embedded storage device, is designed to bring low cost storage solutions to portable consumer electronics devices such as MP3 players, PDAs, digital video recorders and players and handheld gaming devices.
