Interested in learning more about professor Tosi Adegbija's award-winning work on energy-efficient computer memory?

His research leverages a material called spin-transfer torque random access memory, or STTRAM, for use in computer caches. STTRAM can store the same amount of data as static RAM using only a quarter to one-ninth the space, making it especially useful for small devices like mobile phones.

He delves into the details in a recent interview with Leslie Tolbert, UA Regents' Professor Emerita, on Arizona Public Media's Arizona Science radio show.
