UltraRAM

UltraRAM is a brand name and a storage device technology that is under development. The Physics and Engineering department of Lancaster University in collaboration with Department of Physics at Warwick published a paper in the journal of advanced electronic materials suggesting an improvement in non volatile memory technology. It has been described as a memory storage technology that "combines the non-volatility of a data storage memory, like flash, with the speed, energy-efficiency, and endurance of a working memory, like DRAM" which means it could retain data like a hard drive. While the Lancaster team performed some basic experiments to demonstrate the principles in action, UltraRAM remains mostly theoretical at the moment. The Lancaster University researchers say that further work is ongoing to improve quality, fine-tune the fabrication process, and implement and scale UltraRAM devices.
