In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access ...

Investigators have discovered how brain cells responsible for working memory -- the type required to remember a phone number long enough to dial it -- coordinate intentional focus and short-term ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...

Battery-like computer memory keeps working above 1000°F The material transports oxygen ions rather than electrons, creating heat-resistant voltages for both digital memory and in-memory computing ...

Researchers have developed a new design for computer memory that could both greatly improve performance and reduce the energy demands of internet and communications technologies, which are ...

It was a rough sketch of a mathematical proof that memory was more powerful than computer scientists believed: A small amount would be as helpful as a lot of time in all conceivable computations.

What does RAM stand for? The term RAM stands for random access memory. This already includes the working memory that we are talking about here, but what is random about it? It’s an outdated term.

A new design for computer memory that could both greatly improve performance and reduce the energy demands of internet and communications technologies, which ...

From classrooms to kitchen tables, debates about math education are never far away. Should teachers drill multiplication ...

A recent study suggests that working long hours not only drains your energy but could also change your brain, affecting your ...
