Magnetic storage devices, like a computer's hard disk drive, utilize magnets to represent binary data. However, as these ...

Quantum computing will process massive amounts of information. Workloads could include diagnostic simulations and analysis at speeds far greater than existing computing. But, to be fully effective, ...

With the exponential growth of digital data and the limitations of conventional silicon-based storage and computing technologies, bio-inspired, DNA-driven computing and information storage has emerged ...

In 2022, humans created just under 100 trillion gigabytes of data, and that volume will nearly double again by 2025. With this, the pressure to find innovative ways of storing is growing, because ...

Editor’s note: This is part of a series of stories featuring master’s degree programs at the University of Chicago. Bradley Stoller knew the University of Chicago was an ideal fit to pursue a master’s ...

A full DNA computer is a step closer, thanks to a new technology that could store petabytes of data in DNA for thousands or even millions of years. The system can also process data, as demonstrated by ...

A discovery from an experiment with magnetic materials and ultrafast lasers could be a boon to energy-efficient data storage. A discovery from an experiment with magnets and lasers could be a boon to ...

You might be familiar with a gigabyte, one of the most popular units of measure for computer storage. A two-hour movie is 3 gigabytes on average, while your phone can probably store 256 gigabytes. But ...

A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible. Sometime in the fall of 2021, Andrew ...

Open the Planetary Computer data catalog and you will find all kinds of useful data: from decades’ worth of satellite imagery to biomass maps, from the US Census to fire data. All together, there are ...
