Quinas Technology, a startup working to bring the UltraRAM technology to mass production one day and which demonstrated the first chips last year, this week received £1.1 million ($1.43 million) funding from Innovate UK to accelerate the technology's transition from the lab to the fab, reports ElectronicsWeekly.com.
UltraRAM, developed by Lancaster physics professor Manus Hayne some four or five years ago, is a non-volatile type of memory that features DRAM's performance, durability, and energy efficiency. UltraRAM retains data even after power is removed, and the company claims it has at least 4,000X more endurance than NAND and can store data for 1,000+ years.
