UltraRAM is a brand name and a storage device technology that is under development. The Physics and Engineering department of Lancaster University in collaboration with Department of Physics at Warwick published a paper^[1] in the journal of advanced electronic materials suggesting an improvement in non volatile memory technology. It has been described as a memory storage technology that "combines the non-volatility of a data storage memory, like flash, with the speed, energy-efficiency, and endurance of a working memory, like DRAM" which means it could retain data like a hard drive.^[2] While the Lancaster team performed some basic experiments to demonstrate the principles in action, UltraRAM remains mostly theoretical at the moment.^[3] The Lancaster University researchers say that further work is ongoing to improve quality, fine-tune the fabrication process, and implement and scale UltraRAM devices.^[4]
