‘Holy grail for memory tech’: New candidate for universal memory emerges in race to replace RAM and NAND — and this one doesn’t use a toxic compound

Estimated read time 2 min read



The current memory market, worth $165bn a year, is dominated by DRAM and NAND flash. The former is fast with excellent endurance but is volatile, requiring constant refreshing of data. The latter on the other hand, is non-volatile, retaining data when unpowered, but is slower and has poor program/erase cycling endurance.

ULTRARAM, developed by Quinas Technology, a spinoff from Lancaster University in the UK, combines the advantages of both, offering fast, non-volatile memory with high endurance and ultra-low switching energies.
