The discovery of a new particle to create a hard drive the size of a peanut: ================================================ German scientists have discovered a strange and virtuous particle that could allow reduction of the hard drives to the size of a grain of rice. Is a particle which researchers christened of Skyrmion, much more stable than the currently used magnetic particles, and an energy demand 100 thousand times smaller. As if this were not enough, it is also capable of operating at significantly higher speeds on computers that combine power storage and processing capabilities, which immediately opens the door to a new generation of tiny devices as powerful as a desktop computer. It happens that the principle of operation of an electromagnetic field based on the fact that the electrons revolve in the same way within each atom. By enclosing each of these areas on a metal plate were obtained bits-smallest unit of computer data, which must be separated by some space to function coherently, without colliding. In contrast, a particle Skyrmion electrons move in multiple directions, avoiding bumping to each other, thus minimizing the distance between each bit. Thus, while in a conventional hard disk bits are separated by 25 nanometers, scientists managed to spread the bits Skyrmion to only 6 nanometers, with excellent results. In light of this finding, future electromagnetic storage devices be so reduced in size, and maximized performance.
