Ah, science! You do such interesting things. And then the media gets hold of it and turns it into something insane and unrelated. For instance, yesterday researchers at the University of Utah announced they had successfully transferred electron spin information to an atom's nucleus, and then nearly two minutes later, read the information from that nucleus. No doubt Newsweek will be running a blurb in a few days saying that the Atomic Age of Storage is upon us, and soon we will ourselves be hard drives.
Not quite! But this is one step down a long road toward some very interesting stuff.
