New candidate for universal memory is fast, low-power, stable, and long-lasting

Researchers at Stanford have developed a new phase-change memory - which relies on switching between high and low resistance states - an improved option for future AI and data-centric systems. Their scalable technology is fast, low-power, stable, long-lasting, and can be fabricated at temperature compatible with commercial manufacturing.

New, portable antenna could help restore communication after disasters

Researchers at Stanford University and the American University of Beirut have developed a portable antenna that could be quickly deployed in disaster-prone areas or used to set up communications in underdeveloped regions. Made of fiber composites, the antenna packs down to a small size and can shift to communicate either with satellites or devices on the ground without using additional power.

Big cities foster socioeconomic segregation. Here's how we can fix that

Using cellphone data, Stanford researchers determined how often people of different socioeconomic statuses crossed paths. Their research shows people in big cities do not interact with others outside their own socioeconomic bracket, but locating public infrastructure between neighborhoods foster more socioeconomic mixing that will promote diversity.
