RAM does not need energy for 20 years

Researchers in Singapore said they have developed a new type of computer memory that has more storage and time to keep the data intact for 20 times longer without the need for power.

Engineers at the National University of Singapore told UPI news agency that the new form of random access memory (RAM) would significantly increase storage space, ensuring that the read-only data would be saved despite a power outage. suddenly. Scientist Yang Hynsoo said that when ordered to save, data could be preserved for 20 years. Currently, RAM with thin magnetic layers can only store data for 1 year.

Current MRAM technology uses ultra-thin ferromagnetic structure with a thickness of only 1 nanometer, resulting in low production reliability and data loss over time.

Scientists have solved this problem by combining multi-layer magnetic material, increasing the thickness to 20 nanometers, replacing the way of transmitting and storing this cache. Besides, the power used is also much lower.
