Racetrack Memory

Physics Accomplishment | 2008

IBM researcher: Stuart Parkin

Where the work was done: IBM Almaden Research Center

What we accomplished: Adapted from Wikipedia: Racetrack memory or domain-wall memory (DWM) is an experimental non-volatile memory device under development at IBM's Almaden Research Center by a team led by physicist Stuart Parkin.In early 2008, a 3-bit version was successfully demonstrated.If it were to be developed successfully, racetrack would offer storage density higher than comparable solid-state memory devices, such as flash memory and similar to conventional disk drives, with higher read/write performance.
