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 ...

For the vast majority of us, computer memory is a somewhat abstract idea. Whether you’re declaring a variable in Python or setting a register in Verilog, the data goes — somewhere — and the rest ...

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 ...

This 1970s tech USB drive uses magnetic-core memory, stores 128 bytes, and is the size of a dinner plate. It sports a 32x32 ferrite-core grid (1024 bits); hand-woven wires show vintage craftsmanship.
