Nanostructures Bring Gains for Phase Change Memory

Cars That Think

Engineers in the United States and Taiwan say they have demonstrated a promising new twist on nonvolatile memory that’s small enough, miserly when it comes to energy, and works at low enough voltage that it could boost the abilities of future processors. But efforts to fix this have come with trade-offs, such as drifting resistance values.
