New molecule could create stamp-sized drives with 100x more storage | "This new molecule could lead to new technologies that could store about three terabytes of data per square centimeter."
A team of chemists has developed a new type of magnetic molecule that could be the key to storing vast amounts of data on absolutely miniscule drives.
A new molecule based on the rare earth element Dysprosium could could pave the way for next-gen hardware about the size of a postage stamp that can store 100 times more digital data than current tech Since the rare earth element is located between two nitrogen atoms in a straight line, held in place with an alkene bonded to Dysprosium, the molecule's magnetic performance is significantly better than other SMM. The team believes its breakthrough in modeling the magnetic behavior of this molecule will lead to the design of better SMM that can hold their memory at even higher temperatures – and eventually enable the creation of super compact, high density storage for tomorrow's data centers.
