The world's smallest magnetic memory
Researchers at IBM Research Center have created the smallest form of magnetic memory ever with 12 iron atoms.
According to TechnologyReview , this initial success opens a new direction for future storage technology.
It is known that atoms are the smallest chemical elements that cannot be divided, constituting matter; So this new memory can be considered the smallest size in the world up to the present time.
In theory, the data storage grid formed from these atomic level data bits will be 100 times more robust than the storage solutions currently being implemented in practice.
Researchers at IBM say the obvious drawback in this technology is that the atom contains data that only maintains "memory" for a few hours and under low temperatures, thus applying to the device. Mobile is very low.
However, the team still considers this breakthrough technology in the future to be scalable to apply to other types of magnetic materials as well as to combine multiple storage nets together to create one. Large and uniform storage space.
