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 ...

IBM has been considering using digital magnetic tape, a storage medium that was first invented in 1952, as the method of the future.

IBM has been innovating magnetic tape storage technologies. The company believes that tape stands out in terms of safety and sustainability.

A research team led by Prof. Shao Dingfu at the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of ...

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 ...

A newly discovered magnetic phenomenon could accelerate data storage by several orders of magnitude. With a constantly growing flood of information, we are being inundated with increasing ...

A research team has discovered magnetic phenomena in antiferromagnets that could pave the way to developing faster and more efficient data storage.

Antiferromagnetic storage would not be vulnerable to external magnetic fields, making them much more durable. They would also be much smaller, with greater data density, and they would use very ...

An everyday example of magnetic data storage is the traditional magnetic hard disk drive, which stores data using magnetic bits—tiny, nanometer-sized regions on a spinning disk.

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 ...

For the magnetic disk surface, he laser-cut PET film and coated it with a suspension of iron oxide powder, replicating the material properties needed for magnetic data storage.
