Apple’s chief executive said that the price of memory chips is climbing, which could hurt Apple’s margins but help Micron Technology. Memory chips are essential for phones, data centers and AI systems; when their cost rises, companies that make them can raise prices. Micron is a leading supplier of
Scientists have created a breakthrough in memory technology using tiny, bendable tubes instead of rigid layers. These tubes, made from a special material that can switch polarity, form patterns that store information. Unlike traditional memory chips that rely on stiff layers, these tubes can move fr
Most Americans see brain health as a top priority, yet very few actually know how to safeguard it. A recent study found that 88% of adults worry about losing their memory as they age, but only 9% feel well-informed about keeping their brain sharp. The gap between concern and action is striking. Whil
The world’s top memory makers—SK Hynix, Micron and Samsung—are struggling to keep up with the rapid rise in demand for RAM. AI firms are buying large amounts of high‑bandwidth memory to power new data centers, but the number of factories that can produce these chips is limited. Samsung has con
A new study looked at how well people remember faces made by computers compared to real human faces. Participants saw both types and later tried to recall which was which. The results showed something odd: AI faces were easier to remember. This wasn’t just because people could tell them apart—they a
NVIDIA is boosting its Agentic AI platform, Vera Rubin, by adding a new memory supplier from Taiwan. The company now uses LPDDR5X chips from Nanya Technology, a first for the firm’s high‑performance AI servers. This move gives NVIDIA more flexibility. Vera Rubin relies on two kinds of memory: the
People today often turn to smartphones for daily tasks like keeping in touch or managing schedules. For those facing memory challenges, these devices might seem like helpful tools. But science isn’t sure if phones actually improve memory outside of lab tests. Most studies focus on artificial setting
A fresh study across Europe shows loneliness might start hurting memory long before old age sets in. Researchers tracked over 10, 000 adults aged 65 to 94 for seven years. At the start, those who felt lonely scored lower on memory tests. But everyone—whether lonely or not—lost memory at the same pac
A new look at how Indian med students’ study brains react right after social scrolling shows the devices we hold might actually hold us back in real time. Researchers tested memory with a simple number game. One group spent thirty minutes tapping away on social feeds. Another spent the same thirty
The story begins with a group of lesbians who, in the 1980s, created their own safe space in Barcelona. Over four decades, that place has seen political shifts, city changes, and the fading of many queer venues. Yet it kept going because everyone inside shared its own rules and cared for each other.
