Breakthrough in Memory Technology
Scientists have discovered a new method for storing digital information using light and ferroaxial materials.
This breakthrough, published in Science, was achieved by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Germany and the University of Oxford.
- Researchers used a rare class of materials called ferroaxials.
- A single flash of polarized terahertz light can switch ferroaxial materials between two stable states.
No electricity or magnetism is required for data writing and reading, allowing for incredible speeds.
Author's summary: New memory technology uses light and ferroaxials for faster storage.
