Tiny twisted magnets could boost hard drive capacity by 20 times

Quantum physicists at the University of Hamburg have finally worked out how to read and write data using skyrmions -- tiny twisted knots of magnetism that could allow for storage densities 20 times greater than today's hard drives -- allowing for hard drives that might one day store hundreds of terabytes of data, or alternatively finger-tip-sized drives that can carry a few terabytes.
