New Material Makes Writing, Accessing Data Simpler
Computer hard drives.
Scientists from Switzerland have developed just made writing and accessing data on storage systems like hard drives much simpler.
The development of a new perovskite material with distinct magnetic properties can now be used to build next-generation hard drives with higher density and efficiency to store generation of more and more data.
For this, materials whose magnetic properties can be quickly and easily manipulated in order to write and access data on them, are needed.
Scientists from Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) have developed a perovskite material - a calcium titanium oxide mineral composed of calcium titanate - whose magnetic order can be rapidly changed without disrupting it due to heating.
Magnetism in material arises from the interactions of localised and moving electrons of the material. By easily modifying magnetic properties, it could of an enormous advantage in many applications such as magnetic data storage, some of the advantages of which are long-term stability, high data density, non-volatile operation and re-writability - with the speed of optical writing and reading.

Support Swarajya's 50 Ground Reports Project & Sponsor A Story
Every general election Swarajya does a 50 ground reports project.
Aimed only at serious readers and those who appreciate the nuances of political undercurrents, the project provides a sense of India's electoral landscape. As you know, these reports are produced after considerable investment of travel, time and effort on the ground.
This time too we've kicked off the project in style and have covered over 30 constituencies already. If you're someone who appreciates such work and have enjoyed our coverage please consider sponsoring a ground report for just Rs 2999 to Rs 19,999 - it goes a long way in helping us produce more quality reportage.
You can also back this project by becoming a subscriber for as little as Rs 999 - so do click on this links and choose a plan that suits you and back us.
