Samsung’s Super-High Density Flash Storage Will Cram More Into Your SSD

Samsung has been trying to squeeze as much storage as it can into its latest flash chips, and it has done a good job: these 128GB chunks of silicon are, apparently, the industry’s highest density memory storage available.


This Is What It Looks Like To Have A World-Class Memory

You probably juggle a phone number or two around in that skull of yours just out of necessity, but there are memorisation experts out there who would put you to shame. At this year’s World Memory Championships, champion Johannes Mallow memorised a 2245-digit number and the order of 1144 playing cards each in just an hour.


Insane Blasts Of Heat Could Make Flash Memory Live Longer Than Ever

Flash memory is fast, it’s stable, but it’s not without its flaws. It has a tendency to wear out after too many write-erase cycles, for example. Now there’s a way to deal with that problem, and it could lead to self-healing NAND flash memory that could last for much, much longer than the stuff we have now.


These Tiny, Faster Memory Chips Will Be In Your Next Phone

These are Samsung’s latest memory chips. They might not look much, but they’re 20 per cent smaller and 30 per cent faster than the current standard — and they’re already destined to appear in your next phone.


This Piece Of Glass Can Store Data Forever

Data, like all things, eventually dies. Your music, your movies, your documents, your files, your computer. You don’t expect it to live forever but… what if it did? Hitachi claims that they’ve developed a new quartz glass plate that can store data forever.


Samsung Building 128GB Flash Memory Chips For Next Year’s Superphones

There might just be a 128GB memory option when it comes to upgrading to the Galaxy S4 next year or the S5 the year after, thanks to Samsung now mass producing 128GB memory chips for use in mobile devices.


Scientists Discover A Way To Create Artificial Memories In Brains

I find this extremely hard to believe, but according to new research published in Nature Neuroscience, scientists have invented a method to induce memories in brains for the first time in history. Total Recall — here we come.


Reason No. 942 Why Green Tea Is Good For You: It Can Boost Your Brain Cells

Great news for those of you who opt for green tea instead of coffee. In a study published in the Molecular Nutrition & Food Research journal, researchers have found that a key antioxidant chemical in green tea boosts the production of neural progenitor cells, which develop into various types of brain cells.


Spintronic Breakthrough Promises Better Flash Memory

Scientists have long spoken about the possibility of using the natural spin of electrons as digital storage — but it’s never been a reality because of the transient nature of the effect. Now, though, IBM researchers have found a way to keep the effect alive long enough for it to actually be useful.


Samsung’s New Superfast Chips Could Fuel Your Future iPhone

Samsung has just announced some super-fast new chips that could one day power an iPhone. The company claims the Pro Class 1500 line is the Usain Bolt of flash memory cards — four times speedier than predecessors and possibly the fastest chips around.
