Shattered study dreams ...

The title of this post might be a little misleading because what is really behind it is a quite sensational progress in data handling - although it has been already a while: IBM managed to store one bit of information with the bare use of twelve atoms - instead of the usual one million that are used on conventional hard drives. Pretty awesome, only - that is what I wanted to engineer after studying some nanoscience ... Well, then I will probably go back to the teleporter - might be interesting to start with as well. Or maybe one electron - one bit. We will see ...

In any case here is a 3 minute video summing up the story and explaining how it works - understandable for everybody (I hope ... ask, if not. :) )


In addition, here is the IBM link (you can find the video there as well in case the one on this page does not work) and here is the official press announcement from 12 January 2012.
