Scientists Achieve Atomic manipulations of Magnets That Can Now Revolutionise Data and Communications FOLLOW US ON: Magnets are pretty simplistic with their south pole, north pole, and attraction properties. However, a team of scientists have found a way to manipulate magnets atomically. Magnetic properties are used in technology and communications for processing, and this new manipulation method would have implications in fast and energy-efficient future data processing technologies. In today's data hungry society, as called so by one of the lead scientists, this new development will open up many new avenues. By controlling the "spin" of the magnets holding important data, the speed can be manipulated.
