The dramatic increases of storage densities of magnetic recording over the
last 60 years and the corresponding decrease in cost has helped drive the
modern digital data world. However as many of the critical dimensions approach
the nanometer scale, a variety of physical phenomena are placing limits on the
increases of the capacity of future magnetic recording. I will review the
evolution of magnetic information storage, its impact on the digital data and
the current state of the art. I will then discuss new challenges of the energy
use of digital data and the potential for a new generation of magnetic storage
and non-volatile memory technologies to address these needs.

_Dr. Fullerton is an internationally acclaimed scholar in areas such as thin
film and superlattice growth, magnetic recording and nano-technologies, and
x-ray and neutron scattering. At IBM/Hitachi, Dr. Fullerton made fundamental
advances in the development of high density magnetic recording media based on
anti-ferromagnetically coupled ferromagnetic films. Early in his career, he
developed a technique for mapping the structure of thin-film multi-layers from
x-ray diffraction data that became the standard in the field._
