The Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities in 2018 exposed computer memory as an easy target for hackers to inject malicious code and steal data. The aftermath spurred the adoption of memory-safe chips ...

A sense of self-awareness is strongly involved in episodic memory. It’s the feeling of personally remembering.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the layered multiferroic material nickel iodide (NiI2) may be the best candidate yet for devices such as magnetic computer memory that are extremely fast and compact ...

With the DRAM shortage already making memory upgrades prohibitively expensive, high-end SSD prices have also spiked in recent weeks. This surge is being driven by the ...

Your web browser could be the culprit, especially if you've lost count of the number of windows and tabs you have open. Each ...

The Rowhammer attack on computer memory is back, and for the first time, it's able to mess with bits in Nvidia GPUs, despite defenses designed to protect against this kind of hacking.… Last week, ...

In-memory computing (IMC) has had a rough go, with the most visible attempt at commercialization falling short. And while some companies have pivoted to digital and others have outright abandoned the ...

One major issue facing artificial intelligence is the interaction between a computer's memory and its processing capabilities. When an algorithm is in operation, data flows rapidly between these two ...

Materials with high magnetoelectric coupling could be useful in novel devices such as magnetic computer memories, chemical sensors and quantum computers. When researchers irradiate a thin layer of ...
