You know, it is hard to believe that memory is perishable and can wear out, but it is...

It also makes me wonder how many older machines are running RAM with quite diminished capacity?

I remember investigating ferroelectrics for this sort of thing about 30 years ago or so. Maybe now it’s ready for prime time.

What a mix of social, educational, political, and scientific implications and outcomes.

The team employed a technique known as high-energy X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The specialized methodology developed at MIPT relies on the so-called standing-wave mode of the powerful monochromatic X-ray beam, which requires a synchrotron light source to produce.

...

Now they need to find out how to fit one of those in a phone.

Honestly, I have never thought to run a memory test on old RAM. I always tend to blame other stuff first and never considered this as a possibility for the drag. :)

Thank you for posting this, indirectly it made me realize I really should run memory tests more often. lol

Sounds like it might be EMP-proof.

They need to make them bigger again! A big 32 gig card is always better than a small 32 gig card. More surface, longer wear. lol

Thanks Red Badger. Micron? Down a tick. :^) Interesting looking idea, looks like a working prototype is 5 years out (at least). 3D XPoint (jointly dev by Intel and Micron) was hard to do, and has finally come to market. Scaling production will probably be sped up a hair, and this new development work will be wrapped up in licensing in a big hurry to keep it out of Chinese hands.

“You coulda been a contendah!”

I meant, as a developer that would use the product, not developing it. Whenever it comes out, the sooner the better. 30+ years is a long time to wait.
