So I've always thought that having magnets near hard-drives was bad for the hard-drives, yet these days all I see are magnet-tipped screw drivers. Even those "iFixit" branded ones, which are obviously ...

Quantum physicists at the University of Hamburg have finally worked out how to read and write data using skyrmions -- tiny twisted knots of magnetism that could allow for storage densities 20 times ...

Hard drives are still alive and kicking, and companies such as Toshiba continue to push the envelope in terms of performance and data density. And this is exactly what the company is doing with their ...

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!

In a recent article in Acta Materialia authors from Seagate, NIMS and Tohoku University demonstrated two-layer heat assisted magnetic recording. The research team combined experimental measurements as ...
