A quantum computer has demonstrated that it can solve a problem more efficiently than a conventional computer. This ...

In a hot tub in 2012, physicist Seth Lloyd pitched a quantum internet application to Google’s Sergey Brin and Larry Page. He called it Quoogle: a search engine that, using mathematics based on the ...

What we are going to do is design a simple 4-bit computer at the primitive logic gate and flip-flop level and then implement it in the technology of our choice I’ve often wondered what would happen if ...

Cambridge scientists have developed a new prototype for computer memory that could make for faster chips that could hold up to 100 times more data. The system is made up of barium bridges between ...

Magnetic Core memory was the RAM at the heart of many computer systems through the 1970s, and is undergoing something of a resurgence today since it is easiest form of memory for an enterprising ...

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 ...

Big Blue finds a way to double the data that a cell of phase-change memory can store for a long time. It expects the new memory technology in servers in 2016. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from ...

The most common type of computer memory and generally available today in the form of synchronous dynamic RAM chips (see SDRAM). Most all volatile memory is dynamic RAM because it uses only one ...

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 ...

Solid-state, flash-based storage—the kind used in the iPod nano and shuffle—is coming to the Mac. The result could be better battery life, quicker booting, and entirely new kinds of systems. Flash ...
