Magnetic storage or magnetic recording is the storage of data on a magnetized medium. Magnetic storage uses different patterns of magnetisation in a magnetizable material to store data and is a form of non-volatile memory. The information is accessed using one or more read/write heads.
Magnetic storage media, primarily hard disks, are widely used to store computer data as well as audio and video signals. In the field of computing, the term magnetic storage is preferred and in the field of audio and video production, the term magnetic recording is more commonly used. The distinction is less technical and more a matter of preference. Other examples of magnetic storage media include floppy disks, magnetic tape, and magnetic stripes on credit cards.
Magnetic storage in the form of wire recording—audio recording on a wire—was publicized by Oberlin Smith in the Sept 8, 1888 issue of Electrical World. Smith had previously filed a patent in September, 1878 but found no opportunity to pursue the idea as his business was machine tools. The first publicly demonstrated (Paris Exposition of 1900) magnetic recorder was invented by Valdemar Poulsen in 1898. Poulsen's device recorded a signal on a wire wrapped around a drum. In 1928, Fritz Pfleumer developed the first magnetic tape recorder. Early magnetic storage devices were designed to record analog audio signals. Computers and now most audio and video magnetic storage devices record digital data.
In computers, magnetic storage was also used for primary storage in a form of magnetic drum, or core memory, core rope memory, thin film memory, twistor memory or bubble memory. Unlike modern computers, magnetic tape was also often used for secondary storage.
Information is written to and read from the storage medium as it moves past devices called read-and-write heads that operate very close (often tens of nanometers) over the magnetic surface. The read-and-write head is used to detect and modify the magnetisation of the material immediately under it.

La mémoire vive, parfois abrégée avec l'acronyme anglais RAM (Random Access Memory), est la mémoire informatique dans laquelle peuvent être enregistrées les informations traitées par un appareil informatique. On écrit mémoire vive par opposition à la mémoire morte. L'acronyme RAM date de 1965. Les caractéristiques actuelles de cette mémoire sont : Sa fabrication à base de circuits intégrés ; L'accès direct à l'information par opposition à un accès séquentiel ; Sa rapidité d'accès, essentielle pour fournir rapidement les données au processeur ; Sa volatilité, qui entraîne une perte de toutes les données en mémoire dès qu'elle cesse d'être alimentée en électricité.

En physique, la magnétorésistance à effet tunnel, ou magnétorésistance tunnel (abrégée TMR) est une propriété qui apparaît dans une jonction tunnel. Une jonction tunnel est, sous sa forme la plus simple, une mince barrière isolante entre deux électrodes conductrices. Le passage du courant se fait par effet tunnel à travers cette barrière. Pour qu'un courant tunnel soit possible l'épaisseur de cette barrière ne doit pas excéder 1 à 2 nanomètres.
