University of Cambridge Graphene Centre study shows tenfold jump in high-density hard drive capacity
Ultra-high-density hard drives made with graphene store ten times more data Graphene can be used for ultra-high density hard disk drives (HDD), with up to a tenfold jump compared to current technologies, researchers at the Cambridge Graphene Centre have shown. The study, published in Nature Communications, was carried out in collaboration with teams at the University of Exeter, India, Switzerland, Singapore, and the US. HDDs first appeared in the 1950s, but their use as stora
