Counter to the general assumption that memories simply decay with time, ‘forgetting’ might not be a bad thing, according to scientists.

It turns out that human memory can be edited on the fly, creating memories that are nowhere near set in stone.

Hard drives and flash storage have gotten more reliable over the years, but only on a human timescale. What if we need longer data storage.

The ability to remember relationships between unrelated items (an odor and a location, a song and an event) is known as associative memory

A study found that a waterfall, bird songs and waves crashing on a beach are among the sounds that can bring back happiest memories.

Scientists have spent decades searching for faster, more energy-efficient memory technologies for everything from data centers to mobile.

The idea of using multiple switching in a single element draws inspiration from how the brain works and fundamentally reimagines the design

People remember past experiences through the so-called episodic memory system and can manipulate their memories on three levels.

A team of scientists has uncovered a system in the brain used in the processing of information and in the storing of memories

Many of us have experienced the following: the day before an exam, we try to cram a huge amount of information into our brain.

Scientists have successfully reversed age-related memory loss in mice and could lead to human treatments to prevent memory loss

UC Davis research suggests earworms, songs that get stuck in your head, help to preserve memory for music and life events.

New study and a review of decades of data pushes the memory clock back over a year, but the study confirms everyone is different

What information is retained in a memory over time, and which parts get lost? These questions have led to many scientific theories
