Forgetful Genius: The Strange Science of DRAM

The Deep Dive Lab: Unraveling Materials Science ·

2025/10/07

Every photo you take, every tab you open, every AI model you run—all depend on a tiny, tireless worker called DRAM. But behind its apparent simplicity lies a world of paradoxes: memory that forgets, reading that destroys data, and an industry ruled by just three companies. In this episode, we peel back the silicon curtain to reveal how physics, engineering, and economics collide inside the chips that keep modern life running.
