Video: Leon Chua & Memristor Talk at laSalle

Leon Chua speaks at the LaSalle Research Group in Intelligent Systems, Dec. 12 2008. The audio is a little garbled and the retro-analog style overhead projector, common amongst mathematicians, but its a great prespective on seminal work.

Memristors as Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) News

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 […]

Toshibas 2.5 Inch 512gb SSD Announced

Shortly on the heels of Toshiba’s propping up of SanDisk to gain some leverage in the SSD market against giant Samsung, Toshiba has announced that it will be bringing a new lineup of NAND-flash-based solid state drives to market in the first quarter of 2009. Claiming the industry’s first 2.5-inch 512GB SSD, based on 43 […]

Transparent resistive random access memory and its characteristics for nonvolatile resistive switching (TRRAM)

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 […]

Intel, Hitachi to enter into high-end Flash Memory SSD Storage arena

Intel’s announcement of a deal with Hitachi to become the primary supplier of flash memory for Hitachi’s upcoming line of high end SSD solid-state computer drives, particularly for computer servers and storage systems, foments a shakedown of the players in the market. Currently Intel has a joint partnership with Micron for a range of flash […]
