Addressing the Future of Hard Drive Storage
The goal of revolutionizing data storage is at the heart of research underway in the laboratory of Bryan Huey, assistant professor of chemical, materials, and biomolecular engineering. Collaborating with Oleg Kolosov, a physics professor at Lancaster University in the U.K. Huey has known since their days together at Oxford University, this team has garnered three-year funding from the National Science Foundation to study the fundamentals of a new hard-drive-like device made out of phase change material. This new drive will have no moving parts; will store data based on states of different resistance; and is especially promising for its predicted high reliability and low power consumption.
