New ‘FeTRAM’ Low Power Draw Computer Memory Technology Shows Promise

A press release authored by Purdue University’s Emil Venere reports that researchers at Purdue’s Birck Nanotechnology Center are developing a new type of computer memory that could be faster than existing commercial memory and use far less power than Flash memory devices. The technology combines silicon nanowires with a “ferroelectric” polymer, a material that switches polarity when electric fields are applied, making possible a new […]
