Direct electronic readout of 'artificial atoms'

In addition to flows of electrons, researchers are seeking options for the spin of electrons to be used in future information processing. In combination with these characteristics, a considerably larger volume of information can be stored than merely "zero" and "one." Because this is difficult with individual atoms, German physicists at Ruhr-University Bochum place "artificial atoms" into solids.
