SUMMARY:Physics inside- Technology and Career Experience with Hard Drives
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Steven Lambert\, American Physical Society\nHosted by
	: Maria Kamenetska\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//files/download/
	Lambert-Poster.pdf\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nT
	he technology inside every hard drive is amazing.  Features shipping today 
	include magnetic tunnel junctions to read data\, thermal expansion actuator
	s to precisely adjust head-disk spacing to ~1nm\, and data tracks only 70nm
	 wide. Next steps include laser heating of the disk surface to facilitate t
	he writing process.  An army of physicists\, engineers\, and materials scie
	ntists are responsible for a continuing stream of innovations that have mad
	e hard drives the essential enabler for data storage in "the cloud".  Hard 
	disk drive companies are just one of the numerous industries where physicis
	ts make essential contributions.  This talk will use aspects of my 27 year 
	career in magnetic recording to illustrate what it’s like for a physicist
	 to work in industry.  Employment statistics\, salary trends\, and career o
	pportunities for those who earn physics degrees will also be discussed.
