Lasers could make HDDs faster, simpler and higher density
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego have discovered that for a wide range of ferromagnetic materials the direction of magnetization can be completely controlled by polarized light without the need for magnetic fields, a finding that could affect the data memory and storage industries that produce HDDs and magnetic random access memories.
