NEW ORLEANS — ­The tiniest electronic gadgets have nothing on a new data-storage device. Each bit is encoded using the magnetic field of a single atom — making for extremely compact data storage, ...

EPFL scientists have built a single-atom magnet that is the most stable to-date. The breakthrough paves the way for the scalable production of miniature magnetic storage devices. Magnetic storage ...

A new single-atom magnet developed by researchers in Switzerland provides tech companies an opportunity to create smaller yet longer-lasting magnetic storage devices such as memory cards and hard ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience at Ewha Womans University (QNS) have shown that dysprosium atoms resting on a thin insulating layer of magnesium oxide have ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists at Hamburg University have constructed, atom-by-atom, the world’s smallest stable ferromagnet composed of only five iron atoms ("Current-Driven Spin Dynamics of Artificially ...
