Data storage

A pioneering error correction technique developed at the A*STAR Data Storage Institute holds promise for the development of next-generation computers

A fabrication method that does not require etching and pattern transfer pushes recording densities in bit-patterned media to 3.3 terabits per square inch

Vertical silicon nanowires prove to be an excellent platform for nonvolatile memory devices without the need for doped junctions

Nonvolatile memory based on ferroelectric–graphene field-effect transistors is now a step closer to reality

An advanced channel model may help push the capacity limits of future magnetic recording media

Hard disk drives could cram ten terabits of data per square inch of area using a new read head design

A hard-drive head designed to work without magnetic shields can store higher densities of data

Electric fields can help magnetic hard drive heads write data, which may lead to higher storage densities

A tailored material combination may boost the sensitivity of future disk-drive read heads

Computing responses of hard drives to shocks can be sped up using a technique called ‘model order reduction’

A nanowire-based device may set the stage for the realization of next-generation ultrasmall memories

Higher density recording to increase the storage capacity of hard disk drives inches a step closer
