No matter how memory technology marches on, magnetic core memory is still cool. Radiation-hard, nonvolatile, and so pretty. What’s there not to love? [Mark Nesselhaus] is no stranger to fun ...

Magnetic Core memory was the RAM at the heart of many computer systems through the 1970s, and is undergoing something of a resurgence today since it is easiest form of memory for an enterprising ...

On this day in tech history, An Wang filed a patent which would become the basis of magnetic core memory. After receiving his PhD in applied physics, Wang began working at the Harvard Computation ...

This iteration of Electronic Design: Now and Then was inspired when I was reading "Using Magnetic Cores in Computers" from our archives. This article was originally published in Electronic Design ...

It's back to the future with magnetic non-volatile primary storage. Operating systems and embedded applications will need to handle multiple memory types. Magnetic core storage used to be everywhere, ...

Researchers have used high-speed photography to film one of the candidates for the magnetic data storage devices of the future in action. The film was taken using an X-ray microscope and shows ...

Since its 1970 debut, DRAM has supplanted magnetic core memory as an essential element in von Neumann's computer architecture. By the mid-1980s, fueled by the popularity of PCs and workstations, DRAM ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. The memory cores are arranged in a ...

On June 15, 1949, MIT’s Jay Forrester recorded a proposal for core memory in his notebook. The Nebraska native had come to Massachusetts around 10 years earlier to work as a research assistant at the ...
