Technology Research News February 25, 2004	Hot tip boosts disk capacity Many research efforts are aimed at increasing the amount of information that can be stored in a given area of magnetic media like computer disks. One challenge is making smaller magnetic bits that are stable at room temperature.
Technology Research News July 2, 2003	Material helps bits beat heat Researchers have discovered a way to shore up magnetic energy that promises bits only a few nanometers across -- the span of a few dozen hydrogen atoms. The method could make it possible to store more than a trillion bits per square inch, according to the researchers.
Technology Research News December 3, 2003	Spin material handles heat Researchers from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have doped, or mixed the semiconductor zinc oxide with the metal manganese to make a ferromagnetic semiconductor material that retains its magnetic properties at temperatures as high as 177 degrees Celsius.
Technology Research News January 1, 2003 Kimberly Patch	Aligned fields could speed storage Researchers from three institutes in Germany and Russia have found a material whose electric and magnetic domains line up together. The work could bring together the currently separate fields of magnetic and electronic data storage, which would give both methods more flexibility.
Technology Research News January 15, 2003 Eric Smalley	Device demos terabit storage Researchers from Tohoku University, the Japanese National Institute for Materials Science, and Pioneer Corporation in Japan have found a way to store huge amounts of data after figuring out how to make many tiny, inverted dots in a thin film of metal and determining how to sense the state of each dot.

Technology Research News January 28, 2004	Nanorings promise big memory Researchers have found a way to cause magnetic cobalt nanoparticles to spontaneously assemble into rings that are less than 100 nanometers across. Because the molecule is small, memory made from it could hold a great deal of information.
Technology Research News October 8, 2003 Eric Smalley	Magnetic memory makes logic Magnetic memory will soon put an end to the daily annoyance of waiting while your computer boots up from its hard disk. These chips that hold data when the power is off might also be capable of a lot more. Adding a few extra wires to each memory cell could turn the chips into efficient computer processors.
