A laser trick in nanometer-thin magnets hints at faster storage and computing without exotic laboratory conditions ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way to control magnets using flashes of light lasting less than a trillionth of a second. The approach triggers unusually large magnetic motion without direct contact ...

Researchers demonstrate how to change the frequency of the collective magnetic oscillations of a material by up to 40% by using commercially available devices at room temperature. (Nanowerk News) ...

Scientists from MIT have been blasting magnets with lasers, which is more scientific than it sounds. Researchers working with antiferromagnetic material have devised a way to control the magnetic ...

By shining a focused laser beam onto a sample of material, a team at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zürich showed ...

In context: The Linear Tape-Open (LTO) format for tape-based magnetic data recording was developed in the Nineties as an open-standard alternative to proprietary tape formats. The technology provides ...

Due to our growing dependence on data, scientists are always looking for stable ways to store electronic files. A multinational team comprised of experts from the United States, China and Germany ...

Optical storage and even DNA storage could be a significant contender for the digital archive market in the coming decades.
