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

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

Researchers have identified a new magnetic state that blends stability with electrical readout, a key challenge in future ...

HDD shipping capacity and revenue are projected to be over 6.5EB and between $25B and $35B by 2030. We project magnetic tape will ship over 400EB by 2030.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
