On the heels of new rumors about Micron possibly picking up Numonyx from Intel comes a websphere discussion about the possible threat Braidwood, Intel’s new native flash memory module currently spec’d for the first or second quarter of 2010, may pose to the emerging SSD market. Braidwood is promoted as an inexpensive motherboard NAND flash […]
A great article on anandtech spends a moment to explain the performance degradation of NAND flash SSD based drives: “As far as the OS is concerned we needed to write 12KB of data and it got written. Our SSD controller knows what really transpired however. In order to write that 12KB of data we had […]
On the heels of the worldwide financial recession, (perhaps youve heard of it), chip-maker Spansion, a maker of flash-memory chips, has filed for bankruptcy: Spansion shares have lost more than 98 percent of their value over the last year as the tech sector’s problems deepened, closing on Friday at just 5 cents. [nytimes] …joining the […]
arXiv.org is reporting in their Condensed Matter > Strongly Correlated Electrons taxonomy a new paper out of UCSD demonstrating phase-transition driven memristive systems using thin-film vanadium dioxides: Here, we demonstrate memristive response in a thin film of Vanadium Dioxide. This behavior is driven by the insulator-to-metal phase transition typical of this oxide. We discuss several […]
Aside from the fear of invisible androids, a recent paper at Applied Physics Letters on the possibility of transparent resistive memory, or TRRAM, adds another item to the infinite task list of “what can we do with this?”: . This report covers the fabrication of a fully transparent resistive random access memory (TRRAM) device based […]
Interesting video about Memristors with Stan Williams of HP Research. Starts out with a standard “the benefit to the consumer video recorder is enormous,” [not literal quote!], but luckily moves into a much more interesting point, which Dr. Williams discusses a little more in depth: the benefit of the technology vis a vis embedded cell […]
Emerging technology provides a unique opportunity to introduce science within education. The development of Memristors, the fourth passive component type after resistors, capacitors and inductors, along with other Solid State memory devices, takes us one step further to creating cheap, powerful, distributed solutions for sensing and processing.
