Spintronics might not be the sort of word that comes up in everyday discussions, but it has been revolutionising computer technology for years. It’s the branch of physics that involves manipulating ...

Back in the day: Consumers stopped using magnetic tape storage so long ago that many reading this are likely too young to know what it is. However, its ability to store massive amounts of data on ...

Seagate is going all-in on the new HAMR technology for traditional drives and is planning to launch its first 32TB capacity model this year, with a 40TB model to follow in 2024. Yeah, that's a lot of ...

This video shows the operation of the advanced PIMag ® Magnetic Direct Drives. With regards to wear and dynamics, magnetic direct drives, In particular, offer benefits compared to common spindle-based ...

Researchers discovered a new mechanism for faster, more efficient magnetic domain wall motion using dual spin torques in cobalt-iridium-platinum multilayers. In spintronic memory, information is ...

Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) and hard disk drive (HDD) technologies represent a significant leap forward in data storage, promising substantially higher areal densities through the precise ...

Storage vendors, including but reportedly not limited to Western Digital, have quietly begun shipping SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) disks in place of earlier CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) ...

This video shows the working principle of the voice coil drives by Physik Instrumente (PI). Magnetic linear drives and voice coil actuators function based on the fact that the force acting on a ...
