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

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.

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 ...

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!

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

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 ...

College Park, MD (April 19, 2011) — Using well-known patterned media, a team of researchers in France has figured out a way to double the areal density of information by essentially cutting the ...

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 ...
