Disk Technology Wins Nobel Prize
 

French Scientist, Albert Fert and Peter Grunberg of Germany have won the Year 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics.

They have been honoured for "the discovery of giant magneto resistance," the technology that is used to read data on hard disks.

This technology has made it possible to radically miniaturise hard disks in recent years.

Last year, US scientists John C Mather and George F Smoot won the prize for their work in examining the infancy of the Universe.

They were honoured for their studies into cosmic microwave background radiation, CMB, the "oldest light" in the Universe.

The research has aided the understanding of galaxies and stars and increased support for the Big Bang theory of the beginning of the Universe.
