From computers to credit cards to cloud servers, today’s technology relies on magnets to hold encoded data in place on a storage device. But a magnet’s size limits storage capacity; even a paper-thin ...

Physicists have come up with a new synthetic material for optical data storage. Optical data storage does not require expensive magnetic materials as synthetic alternatives work just as well. The team ...

A team of IBM researchers just created the world's smallest magnet using a solitary atom -- and if that wasn't enough of a challenge, they packed it with one bit of digital data for good measure. The ...

IBM researchers have found a way to store one bit of data in a magnet consisting of just one atom, the company announced on Wednesday. Prior to the discovery, the smallest bistable magnetic bits ...
