Professor wins 450K$ grant to develop stable, low cost MRAM chips

Siu-Tat Chui, University of Delaware professor of physics and astronomy, has won a $450,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to help develop stable, magnetic-random-access-memory (MRAM) chips that would replace the random access memory (RAM) commonly used in computers.

Chui, who focuses on theoretical research in condensed matter physics, will be working in collaboration with Sam Bader, chief scientist at the Argonne National Laboratory, to find more reliable ways to write data to MRAM and then develop an experimental demonstration of the technique.
