The European research institution Jülich just released new information on “zero-point energy” and its effect on the stability of nanomagnets. If scientists can determine how to magnetically store data, information can be stored in extremely small spaces. Quantum mechanics becomes important when we’re talking about small spaces, such as nanometers. Magnetic moments are difficult to […]
