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

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 ...

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

Concept of the helimagnet-based memory devices. The directions of the atomic magnetic moments, depicted by the colored allows, are arranged into a spiral. Chirality, the right- and left-handed ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. During recent prior year projections for digital storage and memory we have not talked much about digital storage using optical ...

Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...

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 ...
