Nanoscientists have managed to pack a bit of data onto a single atom — an impressive milestone that paves the way for smaller computers with bigger memories. On Wednesday, IBM researchers announced ...

Electronics get faster, smaller, and (hopefully) more reliable as time passes, but the march towards the miniature only has one logical place to end, and that’s at the atomic level. IBM Research is ...

A team of IBM researchers just created the world's smallest magnet using a solitary atom -- and if that wasn't enough of a challenge, they packed it with one bit of digital data for good measure. The ...

IBM captured a million views in just one day for a demonstration of the future of atomic memory. Here’s how they achived that… and why it matters. By the time midnight rolled around this past ...

While many IT departments grapple with big data, IBM says it has the smallest data in the world: one bit on one atom. Researchers at IBM’s Almaden lab in San Jose, California, have written and read a ...

IBM Research scientists have developed a new technique to control the magnetism of a single copper atom, paving the way to allowing an individual atomic nucleus to store and process information.

Cross posted at Smart Planet. IBM Research has delivered a breakthrough that can track atoms and their behavior at nanoscale. The discovery could allow atoms to be better manipulated for ...
