San Jose (CA) – IBM researchers today said that they were able to probe magnetic anisotropy in individual atoms, potentially opening the development of a new kind of data storage devices. In another announcement, the company unveiled a single-molecule switch that is expected to lead the way toward smaller, faster and more energy-efficient semiconductors.
According to IBM, technologies described today (with further details being provided in two papers scheduled for publication in Science tomorrow) could be significant milestones in developing single-atom data storage devices and molecular computers.
