Newly discovered role of phase separation can help develop memory devices for energy-efficient AI computing. Phase separation, when molecules part like oil and water, works alongside oxygen diffusion to help memristors — electrical components that store information using electrical resistance — retain information even after the power is shut off, according to a University of Michigan led study recently published in Matter.
Up to this point, explanations have not fully grasped how memristors retain information without a power source, known as nonvolatile memory, because models and experiments do not match up.
“While experiments have shown devices can retain information for over 10 years, the models used in the community show that information can only be retained for a few hours,”...
