Computers: Adding carbon gives iron–platinum nanocrystals ideal optical properties for heat-assisted magnetic recording
The disk drive in a computer works by using a magnetic field to change the physical properties of a tiny volume of a magnetically susceptible material. Current research aims to develop novel materials and technologies that can maximize storage capacity by focusing data into the smallest possible volume.
