Magnetic Core memory was the RAM at the heart of many computer systems through the 1970s, and is undergoing something of a resurgence today since it is easiest form of memory for an enterprising ...

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 ...

It's back to the future with magnetic non-volatile primary storage. Operating systems and embedded applications will need to handle multiple memory types. Magnetic core storage used to be everywhere, ...
