Like peanut butter and jelly, like salt and pepper, like that seemingly perfect couple you love (to hate), the two dominant types of computer memory truly complete one another.
Read-only memory (ROM) makes sure our computers and smartphones know how to boot up. Random access memory (RAM), lets us run programs on those computers.
In the past, that’s all we’ve needed. But now, a third type of computer memory is on the scene, and it’s capable doing everything on its own, plus a little more.
This memory is the work of scientists from Shanghai’s Fudan University, who recently published a study about the new technology in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

Why bother creating a new kind of memory, you may wonder? Like each half of any couple, neither RAM nor ROM is perfect on its own.
While systems can quickly access data stored on Random Access Memory (RAM), the minute you shut your device down, RAM loses all that data.
