Scientists at the University of Wisconsin (Madison, WI) have created an atomic-scale memory using atoms rather than cells of silicon to represent data. This feat represents a first step toward a ...

MADISON – In 1959, physics icon Richard Feynman, in a characteristic back-of-the-envelope calculation, predicted that all the words written in the history of the world could be contained in a cube of ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — The design of atomic-scale magnetic memories got a boost Friday (Feb. 22) with an announcement from IBM Corp. researchers that they have manipulated individual cobalt atoms. The first ...

The secret to our data storage woes could be an atom or, more precisely, a grid of them. Atoms, the smallest building blocks in nature, have their appeal as a storage medium. We certainly need a new ...

The big picture: If successfully scaled to industrial production, these chips could extend Moore's Law into the atomic domain by enabling far greater component density without incurring unsustainable ...
