What are the Key Technologies in Nanotechnology-Based Storage?
Key technologies in nanotechnology-based storage include:
Magnetic Storage Using nanoparticles, magnetic storage devices can achieve higher densities. For example, Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) uses a laser to heat a small area of the disk, making it easier to write data with higher precision.
Phase-Change Memory This technology uses a material that changes between amorphous and crystalline states to store data. The small size of the nanoparticles allows for higher density and faster read/write times.
Spintronics Spintronics exploits the spin of electrons in addition to their charge. This can significantly increase the amount of data that can be stored in a given area.
