Data storage needs to keep up with our desire to snap pictures, download clips from the Internet, and create new digital documents. Since the early stages of computer technology, magnetic storage has ...

An international team of scientists has made a breakthrough in the magnetic manipulation of nanoparticles that could lead to a big boost for small scale digital storage in portable devices. The ...

Japanese scientists have developed a device that can switch safely and quickly between magnetic and electronic signals. In so doing they've opened the door to a doubling of the storage capacity of ...

Magnetic storage is the unsung hero of a small kitchen. The fridge is a really great (and underutilized) place to keep things you use every day, like spices, oils, oven mitts, and dish towels. And I, ...

Working at nanoscale dimensions, a team of scientists led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials.

If you’ve ever felt your kitchen space was shrinking under the weight of clutter, you’re not alone. But a renovation to add more cabinets or build a pantry isn’t practical for most people — so a ...

A new frontier in the study of magnetic materials, femtomagnetism, could lead to ultrafast magnetic storage devices that would transform information processing technologies. Now, researchers report a ...

At long last, engineers at Florida International University have found a way of breaking the 2D limitation of magnetic hard drive storage. By moving to three dimensions, the researchers have massively ...

Toshiba demonstrated a method for using magnetic fields from microwave radiation to reverse the magnetization direction selectively in a multi-layer magnetic recording media at the International ...

Figure 1: Magnetoresistive head for hard-disk recording. The MRAM potentially combines key advantages such as non-volatility, infinite endurance and fast random access (down to 5 ns read/write time 34 ...

Although the mainstay of the device (storage) to store data is shifting from the magnetic disk type HDD to the SSD using the flash memory, the magnetic disk type storage device has been in storage for ...

This year, 2012, digital plastic substrate magnetic tape turns 60 years old. The IBM 726 digital tape drive was introduced in 1952 to provide larger amounts of digital storage for computers, in ...
