PCM data storageLive Science
•'Accidental discovery' creates candidate for universal memory — a weird semiconductor that consumes a billion times less power
75% Informative
Phase-change memory ( PCM ) is a technology capable of storing data without a constant power supply.
It works by toggling materials between crystalline and amorphous states.
The "melt-quench technique" used to switch these states requires significant energy.
In their study, the researchers found a way to bypass the process entirely by inducing amorphization through an electrical charge.
This slashes PCM 's energy requirements and potentially opens the door to broader commercial applications.
