The reason they have that name is that magnetic core memory was the primary storage for computers back in the old days and many of us still refer to a computer’s main memory as “core.” ...

The first non-volatile memory that was widely used. Core storage held magnetic charges in tiny ferrite cores, and the direction of the flux determined the 0 or 1. Developed in the late 1940s by Jay W.

indicating the need for highly efficient data storage solutions. Researchers have now developed a voltage-controlled magnetic memory as an energy-efficient alternative. The research led by ...

Data is stored in binary form on secondary storage devices. Magnetic devices are fairly cheap, high in capacity and durable. However, they are susceptible to damage if dropped. They are also ...
