At long last, engineers at Florida International University have found a way of breaking the 2D limitation of magnetic hard drive storage. By moving to three dimensions, the researchers have massively ...

Data storage needs to keep up with our desire to snap pictures, download clips from the Internet, and create new digital documents. Since the early stages of computer technology, magnetic storage has ...

Researchers have discovered a new may of manipulating magnetic domains in thin films. The advance could lead to much more efficient storage technology in mere years. Share on Facebook (opens in a new ...

Magnetic random access memory (MRAM) is the most important new module on the market of computer storage devices. Like the well known USB sticks, they store information into static memory, but MRAM ...

Working at nanoscale dimensions, a team of scientists led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials.

In 1951, Jay Forrester filed a patent application for a “multicoordinate digital information storage device” that would change the way digital computers work. While working on Project Whirlwind at MIT ...

IBM researchers have found a way to store one bit of data in a magnet consisting of just one atom, the company announced on Wednesday. Prior to the discovery, the smallest bistable magnetic bits ...

Japanese scientists at Hokkaido University have developed a device that can switch safely between magnetic and electronic signals. By doing so, they’ve opened the door to a doubling of the storage ...

I have done a series of projections for the digital storage industry for several years now. This set of projections is especially interesting at the beginning of a new decade. As in prior years we ...

This iteration of Electronic Design: Now and Then was inspired when I was reading "Using Magnetic Cores in Computers" from our archives. This article was originally published in Electronic Design ...
