Applied Uses Atom To Shrink Chips
News The manufacturer of chipmaking equipment said Monday that its latest product will incorporate a technique called atomic layer deposition, which creates chips atom by atom. Applied Materials is harnessing the atom to build better chips.

IBM Makes Molecular Switch
News Current hard disks use magnetic domains that include millions of atoms, so the ability to manipulate the magnetic field of a single atom could vastly increase the storage of magnetic media. We can literally take one atom, measure its magnetic...

Welcome To Hafnium, Home Of Chips, Bombs And Conspiracies
Blog Hafnium isn't the only material that can do this, but it is very good - it's got the right number of electrons distributed in the right orbitals around the atom to let it be easily influenced by electrical charge.

The Atoms Went Marching In One By One
News With the laser energy absorbed, the atom's energy state drops, and the atom falls into the chamber. Getting a single, constantly moving atom to go exactly where you want it to is a difficult scientific challenge," NIST wrote in a statement.

Atomic Clock Screensaver
Downloads The second is currently defined as the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the caesium atom. The first accurate atomic clock was built in 1955.

Scientists 'teleport' Atomic Particles
News Since the quantum properties of an atom can represent data, teleportation could be thought of as a way of creating an atomic network. In a paper published in the journal Nature, NIST scientists say they were able to transfer the quantum state, or...

A Year Ago : Chips The Size Of Atoms
News The atom-sized computer chip has been built, claimed scientists at the Danish University of Techology, reducing the 'on-off' element of a microchip to atomic dimensions. The Danish team reckons it has a device in which a single atom can jump back...
