Warnings about magnets and gadgets have been passed down like tech folklore, often without much explanation. The reality is more nuanced: some electronics are genuinely vulnerable to magnetic fields, ...

The use of magnetic tape and other removable magnetic media is now on the wane, leading to scarcity in some cases where manufacture has ceased. Is it possible to produce new magnetic tape if you don’t ...

Thin film magnetic media underpin modern data storage and emerging spintronic devices by exploiting controlled magnetisation at nanometre scales. Key properties include magnetocrystalline anisotropy, ...

In a nutshell: If you are at least as old as me, you might remember back to the days when magnetic tape was the only option for computer storage. Those memories are not fond ones for me --- having to ...

Forward-looking: Magnetic storage technology in hard disks has undergone significant evolution in recent years. Following Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR), Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR), and ...
