Research groups have made a breakthrough in the field of hard disk drives (HDD) by demonstrating the feasibility of multi-level recording using a three-dimensional magnetic recording medium to store ...

Warnings about magnets and gadgets have been passed down like tech folklore, often without much explanation. The reality is ...

Researchers at ETH have measured the timing of single writing events in a novel magnetic memory device with a resolution of less than 100 picoseconds. Their results are relevant for the next ...

Scientists have predicted and discovered a new physical phenomenon that allows to manipulate the state of a magnet by electric signals. Current technologies for writing, storing, and reading ...

The creation of a new magnetic molecule could pave the way to build new, stamp-sized hard drives capable of holding the equivalent of 40,000 CDs' worth of music—that's three years of nonstop tunes!

Schematic view of (top) currently used HAMR and (bottom) three-dimensional magnetic recording systems. In the three-dimensional magnetic recording system, the Curie temperature of each recording layer ...
