Graphene Could Make Magnetic Memory 1000x Denser
KentuckyFC writes "The density of magnetic memory depends on the size of the magnetic domains used to store bits. The current state-of-the-art uses cobalt-based grains some 8nm across, each containing about 50,000 atoms. Materials scientists think they can shrink the grains to 15,000 atoms but any smaller than that and the crystal structure of the grains is lost. That's a problem because the cobalt has to be arranged in a hexagonal close packing structure to ensure the stability of its magnetic field. Otherwise the field can spontaneously reverse and the data is lost. Now a group of German physicists say they can trick a pair of cobalt atoms into thinking they are in a hexagonal close packing structure by bonding them to a hexagonal carbon ring such as graphene or benzene. That's handy because the magnetic field associated with cobalt dimers is calculated to be far more stable than the field in a cobalt grain. And graphene and benzene rings are only 0.5 nm across, a size that could allow an increase in memory density of three orders of magnitude."
Sweet, more room for p0rn. I mean, more room to store my philosophical musings about the world we live in...

I have a friend who was tricked into thinking he was a hexagonal close packing structure after spending a bit too much time around benzene.
which is totally what she said
Does this mean my walkman will hold 45,000 minutes of music? take that iPod!

So one day the atoms might just realize that they've been tricked and you'll end up with your computer on fire because your benzene chains have all broken and you end up with 2-methyl-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene

Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.

And the difference is what again?
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
i just rename good files as porn image files.
That way my data is hid by obscurity. And since it is porn it is freely shared thus backing up my data like a real man. by having the world mirror it.
i thought once I was found, but it was only a dream.
