[extropy-chat] nano reads spin

[scerir]

IBM announces:

see also http://newton.ex.ac.uk/aip/latest.html
and "Imaging techniques: Seeing single spins" by
P. CHRIS HAMMEL, and "Single spin detection by magnetic 
resonance force microscopy", by D. RUGAR, R. BUDAKIAN, 
H. J. MAMIN & B. W. CHUI, in Nature, current issue.

It looks quite promising for the future of nano technology,
medicine, quantum computers, and all that.

(Damien: has 'reading single spins' something to do with
performing parapsy effects experiments?)
