I did my PhD on a purported successor to this - rather than using magnetic bubbles the idea was to use things called Skyrmions which emerge naturally in some materials as either information carriers or to store data in place. In practice it’s never really been taken up by industry for a few different reasons (density, can’t move the skyrmions in a straight line with a current, difficult to read whether one exists or not in a specific place).
