Edible coating for seabass preservation

Figure (A) shows a schematic of the process involved in the treatment of fish gelatin and grape seed extract on seabass fillets for the study. (B) The plots show (left) the bacteria population and (right) the biogenic amine content of the treated fish fillet kept at 4 ºC over a 12-day chilled storage period. The…

Ultra-high-density hard drives made with graphene store ten times more

Credit: Tobias Heine/Pixabay. Graphene can be used for ultra-high density hard disk drives (HDD), with up to a tenfold jump compared to current technologies, researchers at the Cambridge Graphene Centre have shown.The study, published in Nature Communications, was carried out in collaboration with teams at the University of Exeter, India, Switzerland, Singapore, and the US.HDDs…

Graphene will allow for a tenfold jump in HDD capacity

As the NVM Express organization announces that the NVMe 2.0 standard will support HDDs, Cambridge scientists reveal that in the future hard disk drives may hold higher than 10 terabytes per square inch. Although many believe that HDDs are dead as SSDs become common, that’s not true, and the most recent news confirm that hard…

Graphene HDDs Can Store 10x More Data Than Current HDD

Although people are leaning more towards SSDs for their storage needs, mainly because of their faster speeds, HDDs are still widely used in the desktop industry. Compared to Solid State Drives (SSDs), Hard Disk Drives (HDD) can usually contain more space to store data and are much cheaper to manufacture and purchase. Now, a recent…

Outsized Impact: Graphene Nanoplatelets

Use of graphene nanoplatelets to significantly boost performance is a relatively new but rapidly growing application area in the paint and coatings industry.  Photo | Surface Protective Solutions LLC While their use in metal-protective products is fairly new — having been commercialized only within the last few years — graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) are proving to…

Graphene protective coating could signal ‘ultra-high storage density’ media, say

Research scientists writing in Nature Communications have said that switching to graphene protective coating on disk drive patters and read/write heads opens the way to 4–10 Tb/in2 areal density HDDs using HAMR and HAMR+bit patterned media. Looking at the current 1 1Tb/in2 areal density used in 18TB, 9-platter drives with a 2TB/platter capacity, you could…
