For the first time, astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought ...

A disk's surface is divided into concentric tracks (circles within circles), and the thinner the tracks, the more storage. The data bits are recorded as magnetic spots on the tracks in one ...

One of new bot’s features will be magnetic position encoders for the wheels. In the past, [Erich] has used the encoder disks that Pololu sells without issue. At 69¢ each, they don’t exactly ...

"But we knew this wasn't right because astronomical observations reveal that the disks are actually fluffy -- more like an angel (food) cake. Our simulation helped us understand that magnetic ...

Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a young star’s protoplanetary disk. Using ALMA, researchers observed how dust ...

ALMA observations of the protoplanetary disk around HD 142527. The white bars show the directions of the magnetic field revealed by the orientation of the dust grains. The strength of the magnetic ...

The controller was actually first designed by 19-year-old Josh King, who documented the process on his YouTube channel and created a prototype using a 3D printer. King and OhSnap then combined forces ...

Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) is an advanced technology designed to enhance the data storage capacity of hard disk drives (HDDs). By using a laser to heat a small area of the disk to a ...

Or maybe there’s a spot in the disk that is going bad, and the stronger magnetic field is required to reset the floppy’s field. Let us know your guess, or if you know the answer, fill us in!

The goal was to see if and how the magnetic fields influenced how the star accretes material from the surrounding disk. "In the 10 Gauss case, where the protostar is weakly magnetized, we can see ...

The computer's storage media prior to solid state drives (SSDs). Magnetic tape and disks were developed in the 1950s and commonly used together in companies for decades. Tape was the primary ...
