Mini-magnets that are laser activated might be the key to cloud processing 100 times faster than what it currently can do. A material that chemists have found that is made of magnets that advances the storing capacity and speed of the hard drives in the cloud-based servers no matter how big or how small they are.

What Can it do in Practice Rather Than Theory

The most probable estimation of the speed of processing data is as 100 times faster than the current generation of cloud-based transfer, which is if you look at the existing cloud services. The average rate of cloud transferring is around 22.5 Mbps, and that is from Dropbox. So with this new material, we can do about 200 Mbps on average. Imagine how fast that would make transferring large files be with that speed. Crazy!

Who Discovered Laser Mini-Magnets

Scientists from the esteemed University of Edinburg have discovered the material in question that can change the game of not just companies worldwide but also for the average consumers who can avail of this in the future. 

A chemical bond is used for producing the required magnetic properties that the compound and is controlled by shining rapid pulses from a device that shoots a laser. This makes the magnet store the data and also can be used from the laser pulses lasting for just about one-millionth of a billionth of a second. Try to wrap your head around that.

The compound is composed mainly of the element manganese, which is coined from the Latin word "magnes," and in English is ironically enough, which means "magnet."

What Are The Benefits of This Breakthrough Technology?

Dr. Olof Johansson, University of Edinburg's School of Chemistry, has said: "There is an ever-increasing need to develop new ways of improving data storage devices. Our findings could increase the capacity and energy efficiency of hard drives used in cloud-based storage servers, which require tremendous amounts of power to operate and keep cool. This work could help scientists develop the next generation of data storage devices."

Some benefits as well would be able to multi-task other things or focus on one more job since you know that no matter how much data is going to be transferred it will not take as long as it used to be which leaves people in general free to do other things without worrying if all their files or data has been backed up. Lastly, they can save energy and be able to be the gateway to energy-efficient tech that can emit low carbon equivalent to the industry of aviation.
