Radiative Bistability and Thermal Memory

Viacheslav Kubytskyi, Svend-Age Biehs, and Philippe Ben-Abdallah

Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 074301 (2014) - Published 15 August, 2014

Theorists propose a “thermal” memory—one based on temperature, rather than voltage—that could switch from zero to one faster than other designs.
