[3] IBM is developing 'copper magnetism' for memory.
IBM has developed a new technique for controlling the magnetism of single copper atoms. A team of researchers at IBM Research published their findings in an international academic journal, revealing a method for controlling the magnetism of single nuclei by performing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) on individual atoms at a time. The research team explained, "We are conducting fundamental research in nanotechnology to overcome the ultimate limitations of the scale of individual atoms." Foreign media outlets observed, "All innovations in memory technology begin with fundamental research," and "While this technology helps individual atomic nuclei store and process information, further research is likely necessary for commercialization."
