Daniel Holfeld Photography Team build world's smallest hard drive › News in Science (ABC Science) News in Science Friday, 13 January 2012 Jesse EmspakDiscovery News Nano storage Hard drives could one day be the size of rice grains, powering music players so small they would fit inside your ear. Scientists at IBM and the German Center for Free-Electron Laser Science have built the world's smallest unit of magnetic storage, using just 96 atoms to create one byte of data. Conventional drives require a half a billion atoms for each byte. The advance could lead to tiny hard drives able to store 200 to 300 times more information than they can today. "An effect that is common in nature can produce this information storage idea," says Sebastian Loth of CFEL, lead author of the research, which is being published today in the journal Science. The natural phenomenon Loth is referring to has to do with the way electrons spin inside an atom. But these so-called ferromagnetic materials can only be shrunk down so far. "This is a big problem if you want to pack in the magnetic density," says Loth.
