Called all-optical magnetization reversal, it could be applied to storage drives that are more reliable than current devices yet are thousands of times faster. The idea involves using a short laser pulse of about 40 femtoseconds in order to switch a magnet&#8217;s polarity and therefore write data.<\/p>\n<p>Full Article -&#160; <a title=\"http:\/\/www.electronista.com\/articles\/09\/01\/15\/laser.hard.drives.coming\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.electronista.com\/articles\/09\/01\/15\/laser.hard.drives.coming\/\">http:\/\/www.electronista.com\/articles\/09\/01\/15\/laser.hard.drives.coming\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new technology, still in its infancy, could revolutionize data storage devices, merging optical and magnetic technologies.
