Tag: memoryScientists are using genetic "light switches" to probe memory and improve disease therapy. The atom-thick carbon material could have optoelectronic applications. Surface-plasmon lasers could enable a new generation of computers based on nanophotonics. A Step Toward Superfast Carbon Memory Graphene could make computer hard drives denser and speedier. Seagate demonstrates a way to extend magnetic storage. Stuart Parkin is using nanowires to create an ultradense memory chip. Polymers that arrange into nanostructures could store terabits on a square inch. Highest Capacity Flash Memory Yet Double the normal number of bits are crammed into each memory cell. A Comeback for Lamarckian Evolution? Two new studies show that the effects of a mother's early environment can be passed on to the next generation. Fewer Calories = Better Brains? A trial in humans suggests that calorie restriction can boost memory. Transferring the state of separated ions could point the way to quantum computing. Enhancing neuron gene expression may improve memory. Research in mice suggests that it might be possible to delete specific painful memories. An Easier Upgrade to Holographic Storage GE Global Research is developing terabyte discs and players that will work with old storage media. A new electronic device could lead to denser, faster kinds of memory, and processing chips that act more like the brain. |
