Magnetic tape storage is booming again, thanks to AI's unquenchable hunger for data

New LTO Ultrium LTO-10 tapes can store up to 100TB of compressed data per cartridge
Magnetic Storage Bubble: The Linear Tape-Open (LTO) format was designed back in the 90s as an open-standard alternative to proprietary tape formats. Now, the magnetic storage technology is growing in both relevance and shipment volumes because AI companies can't seem to stop gobbling up digital data for LLM training and inference workloads.

After years in the lab, SOT-MRAM might finally be ready for the real world

A tungsten breakthrough could finally make next-gen memory a reality
Why it matters: A team of researchers spanning Taiwan and the United States have combined materials science, device engineering, and process compatibility to address one of the most stubborn challenges in magnetic memory development. With the β-phase tungsten puzzle solved, the research presents a credible path toward mass-produced SOT-MRAM – a technology that until now had remained just beyond reach.
