Storage and memory are the two major holding areas for programs and data in a computer, tablet or smartphone, and their interplay is the fundamental architecture of computer processing.

Fortunately, clearing your computer’s RAM can often fix these issues and get things running smoothly again. Below are some easy ways to get this done without having to replace a ...

Scientists have discovered a way to use single missing atoms in crystals as memory cells, packing terabytes of data into a ...

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 ...

From punch card-operated looms in the 1800s to modern cellphones, if an object has an "on" and an "off" state, it can be used ...

Researchers have explored a 'quantum-inspired' technique to make the 'ones' and 'zeroes' for classical computer memory applications out of crystal defects, each the size of an individual atom. This ...

Ten years ago, researchers proved that adding full memory can theoretically aid computation. They’re just now beginning to ...

A person’s memory is a sea of images and other sensory impressions, facts and meanings, echoes of past feelings, and ingrained codes for how to behave—a diverse well of information.

The tour continues on to ferrite core memory such as that used on mainframes, minicomputers, and even the Apollo Guidance Computer. Each type is examined for its strengths and weaknesses and its ...

Rope memory is weird, but with a contraption made ... [Fran Blanche] tore down a few modules from the Apollo Launch Vehicle Digital Computer a few years ago. Thanks to [Vincent], [Danie], and ...
