Researchers at Delft University of Technology have succeeded in independently manipulating two different types of magnetism within a single atom. The results are relevant for the development of extremely small forms of data storage. In time, this new discovery could make it possible to store two bits of information in one atom.
The magnetism of an atom is the result of electrons orbiting around the nucleus of the atom. These rotations can be divided into two categories. “Compare it with the Ear…
