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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Magnetic tape may seem like a pretty antiquated data storage technology, but its density and capacity is still hard to beat for big data centers. Now, IBM and Fujifilm have teamed up to create a ...

Traditional memory devices are volatile and the current non-volatile ones rely on either ferromagnetic or ferroelectric materials for data storage. In ferromagnetic devices, data is written or stored ...

Physicists have discovered a much faster approach to create a pattern of spins in a magnet. This 'shortcut' opens a new chapter in topology research. Interestingly, this discovery also offers an ...

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 ...
