By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

Magnetism is usually taught as a story of straight lines, with field arrows marching neatly from north to south. In a lab at Florida State University, that picture has just been shattered by a new ...

Researchers in Japan have shown that a common oxide material, when engineered precisely enough, can exhibit a rare magnetic ...

Magnetic tape storage media with a maximum storage capacity of 100TB (compressed) per cartridge, approximately 33 percent greater than the ...

MUNICH, Germany — Scientists of the Juelich Research center have discovered a new magnetic switching method. The technology could be used to design extremely fast data storage devices. In disk-shaped ...

Storing data on magnetic tape might sound delightfully retro, but it’s actually still widely in use for archival purposes thanks to its high data density. Now researchers at the University of Tokyo ...

Atomic-scale magnetic patterns resembling a hedgehog's spikes could result in hard disks with massively larger capacities than today's devices, a new study suggests. The finding could help data ...

The tech world (and let’s be totally honest, tech journalists) have a recency bias — a type of cognitive skew that places greater importance on whatever is shiny and new. And the temptation is often ...

Scientists from IBM and the German Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) have built the world's smallest magnetic data storage unit. It uses just twelve atoms per bit, the basic unit of ...

The magnetic interactions between atoms at minute scales can create unique states such as skyrmions. Skyrmions have special properties and can exist in certain material systems, such as a 'stack' of ...

The new storage system could hold family photos, cultural artifacts and the master versions of digital artworks, movies, ...
