Penn State Team Creates Ultra-Low-Power Memory Using Synthetic DNA and Perovskite

Penn State researchers have developed a bio-hybrid memory device that combines synthetic DNA with crystalline perovskite semiconductors. This 'memristor' stores data by remembering previous electrical current directions, similar to neural function. The device operates at less than 0.1 volts and consumes 100 times less power than traditional storage while offering higher capacity. The technology aims to support energy-efficient AI and neuromorphic computing systems.

Revolutionary Semiconductor Promises Ultra-Low Power Universal Memory

Researchers have discovered a method to significantly reduce the energy requirements of phase-change memory (PCM) using indium selenide, a semiconductor with unique properties. This breakthrough could lead to the development of low-power memory devices, overcoming a major barrier to the widespread adoption of PCM, which combines the benefits of both RAM and storage devices. The discovery was made by accident when a continuous current caused unexpected amorphization in the material, potentially paving the way for new low-energy electronic applications.
