Silicon memory chips come in two broad types: volatile memory, such as computer RAM that loses data when the power is turned off, and nonvolatile flash technologies that store information even after we shut off our smartphones. In general, volatile memory is much faster than nonvolatile storage, so engineers often balance speed and retention when […]
