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.
