Elpida Memory, Japan's leading global supplier of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), today announced that its Hiroshima Plant has begun volume production of 40nm process 2-gigabit DDR3 SDRAMs. Since completing development of the DDR3 SDRAM last October it has taken Elpida only two months to ramp up mass production. http://www.physorg.com/news180724132.html Technology Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:50:07 EST news180724132 Elpida Memory, Japan's leading global supplier of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), today announced that it had completed development of a 65nm XS extra-shrink version 1-Gigabit DDR3 SDRAM that is as cost-competitive as 50nm process memory devices. http://www.physorg.com/news180293731.html Technology Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:38:00 EST news180293731 Elpida Memory, Japan's leading global supplier of Dynamic Random Access Memory, today announced that it had developed a 1-gigabit GDDR5 (product name: EDW1032BABG) that operates at a world-class high speed of 6Gbps. http://www.physorg.com/news177953610.html Technology Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:00:01 EST news177953610 Picking a Christmas gift for the nerd in your life is never easy. In the holiday stampede, it's all too easy to end up with an outdated gadget or obsolete program. And mistakes can be costly. http://www.physorg.com/news177788060.html Electronics Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:40:01 EST news177788060 (PhysOrg.com) -- Until Oct. 24, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover had gone more than six months without an episode of amnesia-like symptoms like those that appeared on four occasions earlier this year. http://www.physorg.com/news176195599.html Space & Earth Sat, 31 Oct 2009 08:14:12 EST news176195599 (PhysOrg.com) -- The ability to store and retrieve data is an important component of today's computers, as well as other modern electronic devices such as cell phones, video game consoles, and camcorders. Since their invention in the 1950s, magnetic-based hard disk drives (HDDs) have been the primary method of nonvolatile storage. However, researchers are currently developing several new and promising nonvolatile memory (NVM) technologies, but for one of them to replace HDDs within the next decade, it will be a challenge. http://www.physorg.com/news175505861.html Electronics Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:40:03 EST news175505861 Elpida Memory, Japan's leading global supplier of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), today announced that it had developed the industry's first 2-gigabit DDR2 Mobile RAM. http://www.physorg.com/news173430536.html Technology Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:10:01 EST news173430536 (PhysOrg.com) -- Millions of people today carry around pocket-sized music players capable of holding thousands of songs, thanks to the discovery 20 years ago of a phenomenon known as the `giant magnetoresistance effect,` which made it possible to pack more data onto smaller and smaller hard drives. Now scientists are on the trail of another phenomenon, called the `colossal magnetoresistance effect` (CMR) which is up to a thousand times more powerful and could trigger another revolution in computing technology. http://www.physorg.com/news163420444.html Physics Fri, 05 Jun 2009 11:35:06 EST news163420444 South Korea's anti-trust watchdog said Monday it has found no evidence that leading chipmakers in South Korea and other countries colluded to fix prices. http://www.physorg.com/news159425559.html Technology Mon, 20 Apr 2009 05:53:02 EST news159425559 Taiwan Memory Company (TMC), a new government-backed firm set up to consolidate the island's memory-chip industry, said Wednesday it will form a partnership with Japan's Elpida Memory Inc. http://www.physorg.com/news157784994.html Technology Wed, 01 Apr 2009 06:10:38 EST news157784994 Toshiba Corporation today announced the prototype of a new FeRAM -- Ferroelectric Random Access Memory -- that redefines industry benchmarks for density and operating speed. The new chip realizes storage of 128-megabits and read and write speeds of 1.6-gigabytes a second, the most advanced combination of performance and density yet achieved. Full details of the new FeRAM will be presented this week at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference 2009 (ISSCC2009) in San Francisco, USA. http://www.physorg.com/news153420638.html Technology Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:52:21 EST news153420638 Individual nerve cells in the front part of the brain can hold traces of memories on their own for as long as a minute and possibly longer, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. http://www.physorg.com/news152114323.html Medicine & Health Sun, 25 Jan 2009 14:00:24 EST news152114323 Elpida, Japan's leading global supplier of Dynamic Random Access Memory, today introduced the industry's first 1-Gigabit XDR DRAM based on a x32-bit configuration. http://www.physorg.com/news151684581.html Technology Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:37:09 EST news151684581 A group of scientists at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has fabricated a working computer chip that is almost completely clear -- the first of its kind. The new technology, called transparent resistive random access memory (TRRAM), is described in this week's issue of the journal Applied Physics Letters. http://www.physorg.com/news148062726.html Physics Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:32:06 EST news148062726
