The computer's storage media prior to solid state drives (SSDs). Magnetic tape and disks were developed in the 1950s and commonly used together in companies for decades. Tape was the primary medium ...

The ultimate speed of magnetic disk drives is at least 1,000 times slower than previously expected.. So claims a team led by physicist Joachim Stohr of Stanford's Linear Accelerator Center that ...

Researchers at HZDR managed to generate wave-like excitations in a magnetic disk—so-called magnons—to specifically manipulate a atomic-sized qubits in silicon carbide. This could open new ...

Although the mainstay of the device (storage) to store data is shifting from the magnetic disk type HDD to the SSD using the flash memory, the magnetic disk type storage device has been in storage for ...

Toshiba demonstrated a method for using magnetic fields from microwave radiation to reverse the magnetization direction selectively in a multi-layer magnetic recording media at the International ...

The magnetic hard disk's tenure as a critical part of the storage technology mosaic is entering its sixth decade, and it shows no sign of ending any time soon. However, certain limitations imposed by ...

Intevac announced that it had an order for two magnetic disk media manufacturing units (Lean 200 magnetic media sputtering machines, valued at $4.5-$5.0 M each) with delivery expected mid-2012. During ...

Push two magnets together and you’ll set off an avalanche of activity, forcing atoms on each magnet to align their polarity with the intruding magnetic field. It may sound like a party trick for ...
