So I've always thought that having magnets near hard-drives was bad for the hard-drives, yet these days all I see are magnet-tipped screw drivers. Even those "iFixit" branded ones, which are obviously ...

Quantum physicists at the University of Hamburg have finally worked out how to read and write data using skyrmions -- tiny twisted knots of magnetism that could allow for storage densities 20 times ...

It's magnetic. It's electric. It's photonic. No, this isn't a teaser for the latest superhero trio in a Marvel blockbuster. This is about our precious digital data. We need to store it somewhere ...

Today's computers store information in magnetic hard drives, keeping files safe even when the device is powered off. But to ...

A new theoretical study led by University of Delaware engineers reveals that magnons, a type of magnetic spin wave, can produce detectable electric signals. Pictured, Matt Doty, professor in the ...

There is the mental image that most people have of electronics recycling, and then there is the reality, which is shredding. Less than 20 percent of e-waste even makes it to recycling. That which does ...
