Nanotech News #3: Data Storage on the Atomic Scale

In this episode of Nanotech News, I will be discussing a new
paper that may lead to a new form of data storage by controlled
phase transitions in atoms or groups of atoms. There are many new
and innovative ways of storing bits of informations, but storing
data in individual atoms could offer the densest form of data
storage to date.


(I apologize in advance for some of the bad audio quality in this
one. I'm still experimenting to find the optimal recording
setup.)
