Forgetfulness is one of the hallmarks of ageing – almost 40 per cent of people aged 65 or older have some form of age-related memory loss. And usually once forgetfulness has set in, things only get ...

There are all kinds of technology that appear through the ages that find immediate success, promise to revolutionize the world, but fade to obscurity almost as quickly. Things like the ZIP disk, RDRAM ...

Researchers at Northwestern University have used a non-invasive form of magnetic brain stimulation to improve the memory of older adults. After just five short sessions the older adults scored as well ...

New research led by a team from the University of Glasgow is shedding light on how specifically targeted pulses of magnetic stimulation to the brain can improve episodic memory. The work found ...

In a recent study published in Sciences Advances, a team of researchers from Aalto University in Finland have developed a new material that possesses a form of adaptive memory based on its ability to ...

A neural network of the brain – the dorsal stream – is responsible for aspects of auditory memory (how sound is connected to recall and interpretation). Inside the dorsal stream rhythmic electrical ...

The ability to remember sounds, and manipulate them in our minds, is incredibly important to our daily lives -- without it we would not be able to understand a sentence, or do simple arithmetic. New ...

Over on his blog our hacker [Scott Baker] has a Magnetic Bubble Memory Mega-Post. If you haven’t heard of magnetic bubble memory before it’s basically obsolete nonvolatile memory. Since the 1970s when ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Internet searches, decade-old emails and on-demand video offerings help contribute to electricity consumption by America’s server farms and data centers amounting to more than 2 ...

Physicists in Japan have come up with a new way to manipulate magnetisation, which could produce less energy-hungry memory for future computers. Inside magnetic materials, tiny regions known as ...

Researchers showed that relatively simple structures can support exponential number of magnetic states -- much greater than previously thought -- and demonstrated switching between the states by ...

Computers and smartphones have different kinds of memory, which vary in speed and power efficiency depending on where they are used in the system. Typically, larger computers, especially those in data ...
