Magnetic storage requires the magnetization of a ferromagnetic material to record data. These materials rely on the atom’s electrons, which themselves behave like tiny magnets.

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 ...

Researchers have created a molecule that can store magnetic data at record-high temperatures, potentially reshaping how digital information is archived. The molecule, based on the rare earth element ...

After decades of overly rosy availability predictions, Seagate announced in late 2024 that it was finally delivering ...

Using a type of magnetic insulator material that normally doesn’t conductelectricity, scientists working at Stanford University and the Department ofEnergy’s SLAC National Accelerator ...

The first storage media — paper tape and punched cards — were inefficient, slow and bulky. These gave way to magnetic storage: core memory, drums and, finally, hard drives. For backup, there ...

Magnetic racks give your kitchen so much extra storage space. 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 ...
