Magnetoelectronic memories last and last.

Magnetoelectronic memories last and last.

Nonvolatile RAMs built with thin films of ferromagnetic material are poised to challenge dynamic and nonvolatile memories based on conventional semiconductors. At the root of the excitement are electronic devices with a ferromagnetic component that lets them not only switch between two stable states...
