Scientists Store One Bit of Data on a Single Atom — Future of Data Storage
Imagine a pocket-sized hard drive capable of storing the entire list of 35 Million Songs?
This isn’t yet practical, but IBM has just taken a big step towards improving computing technology: IBM researchers just discovered a way to store data on a single atom.
Data storage is undergoing dramatic evolution, recently researchers successfully stored digital data — an entire operating system, a

200KV Capacitor Uses Cake Pan and Bowl
[PhysicsGirl] posts videos that would be good to use in a classroom or homeschool environment. She recently showed a 200KV capacitor made from a cake pan, a bowl, and some other common items (see video, below).
One of the most interesting things about the project was how they charged the capacitor. A PVC pipe and some common hardware made a wand that they’d charge by rubbing a foam sleeve up and down against the dome formed by a metal bowl. We might have used a cat, but there’s probably some law against that.
To discharge, they used the end of …read more

New LHC Experiments May Help Explain What Happened to All the Antimatter
Researchers have seen a baryon decay for the first time, which may help explain why there is far more matter than anti-matter in the universe. Continue reading New LHC Experiments May Help Explain What Happened to All the Antimatter
