Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers has mapped a magnetic ...

Researchers at HZDR managed to generate wave-like excitations in a magnetic disk—so-called magnons—to specifically manipulate a atomic-sized qubits in silicon carbide. This could open new ...

The computer's storage media prior to solid state drives (SSDs). Magnetic tape and disks were developed in the 1950s and commonly used together in companies for decades. Tape was the primary medium ...

This release is available in German. Tiny magnets organize themselves in vortices in the researchers' mini disks. The individual magnets can twist either in a clockwise or a counterclockwise direction ...

Magnon frequency combs may make it possible to link and interact with a wide range of physical systems, opening new pathways for communication and control between otherwise separate technologies. Rese ...

Hot stuff Heat-assisted magnetic recording is set to boost the storage capacity of hard disks still further. (Courtesy: Seagate Technology) When it comes to storing data, you might think that magnetic ...

Floppy disks are recording media in which magnetically coated or vapor-deposited disks are placed in a protective case, but they are rarely used in modern times when HDDs and SSDs are widespread. A ...

Quantum computers promise to tackle some of the most challenging problems facing humanity today. While much attention has been directed towards the computation of quantum information, the transduction ...
