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.

Researchers at the Institute of Photonic Integration of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have developed a hybrid technology featuring the advantages of both optical and magnetic hard ...

Earlier this year the IEEE Roadmap and Systems (IRDS) released a technical roadmap report on Mass Data Storage. I was the co-chair on this activity along with Roger Hoyt which included experts on ...

A single, ultrafast laser pulse has flipped the polarity of a ferromagnet without first heating it to the brink of losing its ...

A Hebrew University study finds light’s magnetic field plays a larger role in material behavior than believed, with implications for optical and quantum technologies. A new Israeli study suggests that ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, light-induced thermomagnetic recording in a magnetic thin-film on silicon waveguides. The new writing technique is poised to enable ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have made unexpected progress toward developing a new optical memory that can quickly and energy-efficiently ...

Optical storage can last a century, give faster access to data, and is backward compatible with earlier optical technology, yet disk drives and tape rule in long-term storage. Optical media is the ...
