New IT solutions have been discovered by
scientists that could help increase the speed of data processing within laptop and desktop hard drives.
The University of York reveals that researchers from the establishment teamed with scientists from Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands to make the discovery.
Explaining that the speed of data is dependent on how fast magnetic reversal occurs, the university states that this knowledge was used to develop the increased processing speed.
The experiment used a combination of an alloy of gadolinium-iron-cobalt in thin films and heating with a laser to achieve the result.
Using this method, the team found that magnetic reversal could be made substantially faster.
"This study is therefore very important in terms of establishing the fundamental limits on the speed of magnetic recording and information processing," comments Professor Roy Chantrell, who works in the University of York's Department of Physics.
Recently, Fusion for Energy revealed that the fastest supercomputer in the field of nuclear fusion is set to be based in Japan in order to help with complex physics calculations.
