Researchers there have discovered that applying heat to NAND flash cells can drastically extend their life, thus overcoming one of the biggest problems with the solid state storage technology.

Although this has boosted the storage capacity, the transition from single-level cell (SLC) to multi-level (MLC) and today’s TLC and QLC NAND Flash have come at severe penalties, mostly in the ...

Similarly, it would be nice to know you’re not making any boneheaded mistakes early in the design process, which is what this DIY TEM cell is all about. We really like [Petteri Aimonen]’s ...

A novel memory cell architecture dubbed MirrorBit lets flash memory cells hold twice as much data as standard flash cells without compromising performance or data integrity. Developed by Advanced ...

Meanwhile, a new 48-layer cell technology development by Toshiba could pave the way for higher write speeds, more reliability and lower costs in solid state drives. The flash memory inside our ...

Liquid specimens are vacuum-incompatible, so they cannot be directly probed in traditional TEM. Fortunately, with the emergence of the more advanced in-situ "liquid cell TEM," it is possible to ...

First revealed in 2018, X-NAND claims to be three times faster than QLC flash (quad level cell, essentially storing four bits per flash cell) for random reads and writes, and up to 27 times faster ...
