How do you dust a star for prints? Scientists have the answer to this strange question: by reconstructing the magnetic field of an infant star from the planet-forming disk of gas and dust around it.

The history of the hard drive, through pictures. By Lucas Mearian. DEC 31, ... IBM magnetic disk. The magnetic disk invented by IBM in the early 1950s contained 100 concentric tracks on each side.

The ultimate speed of magnetic disk drives is at least 1,000 times slower than previously expected.. So claims a team led by physicist Joachim Stohr of Stanford's Linear Accelerator Center that ...

What does magnetic tape and disk actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

The magnetic hard disk's tenure as a critical part of the storage technology mosaic is entering its sixth decade, and it shows no sign of ending any time soon.

A non-removable hard disk such as is found in most computers. Programs and data are copied to and from the fixed disk. See hard disk and magnetic disk. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY ...

The knowledge may help engineers design more reliable materials for disk drives. Correcting even a single typo in an e-mail means changing dozens of bits of information. For each bit, a magnetic head ...

Because the vortices that form on the disks contain two independently controllable and accessible magnetic parameters, they could form the basis for quaternary bits that would contain data written ...

In conventional hard disk drives, the magnetic disk has to be physically moved to read to and write from the disk. This has the disadvantages of being slow and susceptible to mechanical problems. A ...
