“The engineering advancements help overcome significant barriers in introducing a technology that holds the potential to significantly transform computer designs. Phase-change memory (PCM), could snuggle up alongside conventional dynamic random access memory (DRAM) to improve computer performance in ways that flash memory so far can’t. It’s not as fast as DRAM, but IBM says it’s [...]

“This is the first wafer-scale production of graphene-integrated circuit – and we’ve shown that graphene can be integrated with other elements to form a complete function, which enables higher performance and more complex functionalities in a circuit.” The results appear impressive. In their paper published in the journal Science, the team explained that the circuit [...]
