    		Magnetic-bubble memory -- Magnetic-bubble memory is a form of data storage system consisting of synthetic garnet material with small magnetic domains, known as bubbles, in its upper layer. The domains appear and disappear under the influence of an electromagnetic field. Their presence or absence represents a one or a zero.
