has been created by researchers at IBM, reaching the smallest physical limit for a memory element: Magnetic Memory Miniaturized to Just 12 Atoms. For comparison, present technology uses about one million atoms to achieve the same memory state. Amazing.
I guess this effectively defines the upper limit of Moore's Law, at least insofar as conventional integrated circuit technology goes.
RELATED: So maybe this is the future at the subatomic scale - so-called quantum computing - by controlling the spin of electrons: Ten-Second Dance of Electrons Is Step Toward Exotic New Computers. Like I said before, amazing.
