Physicists Caught Two Atoms ‘Talking’ to Each Other – Gizmodo Australia

A team of physicists in the Netherlands and Germany recently placed a bunch of titanium atoms under a scanning tunnelling microscope. Those atoms were in constant, quiet interaction with each other through the directions of their spins. In a clever feat, the researchers were able to home in on a single pair of atoms, zapping one with an electric current in order to flip its spin. They then measured the reaction of its partner.
When two atoms have spins that are interdependent, they are considered…
