IBM's R&D goin 2 make a historical move !!

By using Nanotechnology IBM claims it has developed methods which can pack some 13,000 movies into a single device which is not bigger than an iPod !!!!!

.

.

IBM says it was able to achieve this feat by learning how to steer single atoms in a way that could create building blocks for ultra-tiny storage devices .The important point is understanding and manipulating the behavior of atoms is critical to harnessing the power of nanotechnology..

.

This is what Scentists at IBM say about atoms ----->>>

.

-> "One of the most basic properties that every atom has is that it behaves like a little magnet, If you can keep that magnetic orientation stable over time, then you can use that to store information. That is how your hard drive works" said Cyrus Hirjibehedin, a scientist at International Business Machines Corp.'s (IBM.N) Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California..

.

->Mr. Andreas Heinrich said "What we've been able to do is to look at an iron atom on a copper surface and to move that magnetic orientation around.

Now they are looking for an atom that remains stable over a long time. In the very long run, we're shooting for data storage on a very tiny scale"

.

After all these are very good signs for more portability and comfort .. Hope those Whiz guys at IBM come out with such techniques as soon as possible !!
