  TOKYO -- Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE:HIT) (TOKYO:6501) [ profile ] and Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) announced that they have developed the world's smallest read-head technology for hard disk ... drives, which is expected to quadruple current storage capacity limits to four terabytes (TB) on a desktop hard drive and one TB on a notebook hard drive. Researchers at Hitachi have successfully reduced existing recording heads by more than a factor of two to achieve new heads in the 30-50 nanometer (nm) range, which is up to 2,000 times smaller than the width of an average human hair (approx. 70-100 microns). Called current perpendicular-to-the-plane giant magnetoresistive1 (CPP-GMR) heads, Hitachi's new technology is expected to be implemented in shipping products in 2009 and reach its full potential in 2011. Hitachi will present these achievements at the 8th Perpendicular Magnetic Recording Conference (PMRC 2007) to be held October 15-17, 2007 at the Tokyo International Forum in Ja   [More...] [Less...]

  Nanotechnology: Large scale gains for small scale work Increased energy efficiency, a cleaner environment, more effective medical treatment and improved manufacturing production are just some of the potential ... benefits of nanotechnology. Working at a scale 10,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair, its potential is enormous and far reaching. As with many newly emerging technologies, there are still significant challenges to overcome in taking nanotechnology-enabled applications to market. BSI British Standards' publications can help solve these problems at every stage in developing a product or service, from idea to implementation, defining crucial aspects of safety, reliability and quality. The UK is playing a key role in leading the development of nanotechnology standards through its national committee NTI/1 "Nanotechnologies" and holds both the chair and secretariat of ISO TC/229 "Nanotechnologies" and CEN/TC 352 "Nanotechnologies". Through these committees, and through   [More...] [Less...]

  Molecules with memories - developing the future of the electronics industry 

  http://www.nanowerk.com/spotlight/spotid=2600.php

  ( Nanowerk Spotlight ) Apart from buying a new computer every year it seems you need to upgrade your old machine on a regular basis to keep pace with ever bigger software packages and image files. Apart ... from the hassle of having to perform major surgery on your computer, these upgrades cost money. But, what if these upgrades were no longer necessary? What if your desktop computer came standard with the ability to store more data than you could ever possibly need and was able to function at unbelievable speeds? This would be too good to be true, right? Besides, who has the space for such a megacomputer. Well, imagine that this megacomputer could be packaged as a smaller device than current laptops, and cost only a fraction of today s prices? This sounds like hard core science fiction, but like so many radical science fiction ideas - the real thing might happen sooner than you think. As chip designers are nearing the physical limits of Moore's law (some say that the exponential increase   [More...] [Less...]
