After decades of improvements to hard disk drive (HDD) technology, manufacturers are now close to taking the next big leap that will boost storage density to new levels. Using laser-assisted writes, ...

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, ...

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 ...

In order to achieve higher storage densities on computer disks, the last decades were dominated by optimization of magnetic materials, i.e. the magnetic particles (grains) were gradually shrunk while, ...

Heat-assisted magnetic recording device is a storage device based on a magnetic storage technology that is capable of increasing the amount of data that can be stored on a hard disk drive ...

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 ...

The amount of data you can squeeze onto a hard drive continues to grow by leaps and bounds, with Seagate announcing a 60TB SSD late last year. But thanks to IBM and Sony, tape might still reign ...

Magnetic random-access memory based on new spin transfer technology achieves higher storage density by packing multiple bits of data into each memory cell. Magnetic random-access memory based on new ...

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 ...

THE WHIRR of spooling magnetic tape is more likely to evoke feelings of nostalgia than technological awe. Yet tape remains important for data storage, with millions of kilometres of the stuff coiled ...
