The chips, called magnetoresistive random-access memory or MRAM, maintain information by relying on magnetic properties rather than an electrical charge. Unlike flash memory, which also can keep data without power, MRAM is fast to read and write bits, and doesn't degrade over time.
Actually, this one is a wheel that needed to be reinvented. It's for RFID passively-powered applications. It takes a lot less power and, more importantly, takes a lot less time to spin up than Flash.
