A new study reveals that the memory for a specific experience is stored in multiple parallel 'copies'. These are preserved for varying durations, modified to certain degrees, and sometimes deleted ...

Scientists maximize the efficiency of hafnia-based ferroelectric memory devices. A research team led by Professor Jang-Sik Lee from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the ...

Think of your happiest memory. A wedding, your child’s birth, or maybe just a perfect night out with friends. Sit with it for a moment. Remember the details. What were you wearing? What did it smell ...

Researchers have developed a new type of memory cell that can both store information and do high-speed, high-efficiency calculations. The memory cell enables users to run high-speed computations ...

The paper, "Organizing the coactivity structure of the hippocampus from robust to flexible memory," is published in Science. Memories inform our everyday actions and guide our behaviors. However, when ...
