At the recent Computex trade show in Taipei, Western Digital confirmed that its first hard drives based on Heat-Assisted ...

Western Digital confirmed plans to begin mass production of HAMR-based hard drives in 2027, starting with 36TB, 40TB, and ...

Jupiter, roughly 562 million miles from Earth today, has nearly 100 moons. But Batygin and his collaborator Fred Adams' research focused on two of the smaller ones, Amalthea and Thebe. Both are inside ...

Being an American company, IBM naturally landed on the "disk" spelling when creating HDDs. Rather than use an optical process for storage, this drive used magnetic tape to store its data.

Now, Ishida's team has used rod-shaped viruses to demonstrate a self-assembly system that produces disks whose diameters can be controlled by a magnetic field. The magnetically induced twisting ...

Magnetically induced SuperResolution (MSR) has been realized in magneto-optical disks using exchange-coupled magnetic multilayer films. Two new detection methods have been developed. In the front ...
