Liquid metal RAM is first step towards shapeless computing — as well as spinless robots with octopus-like features and robots from a popular 90’s Sci-Fi movie
Storage systems are critical parts of electronic devices, but current methods have struggled to create flexible memory due to inherent rigidity limitations. In a breakthrough that brings to mind the T-1000 from Terminator 2, researchers from Tsinghua University in Beijing have developed a fully flexible resistive random-access-memory device, known as…

“Perfect” memory that could one day replace three types of storage gets very early prototype — SOT-MRAM is cache, system memory and storage rolled into one
Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) have announced the creation of a SOT-MRAM (spin-orbit torque magnetic random-access memory) array chip, the result of a joint development program first announced in 2022. Touted as a potential replacement for STT-MRAM (spin-transfer-torque MRAM), the new SOT-MRAM could be…
