Article, binary on a single electron

This is an interesting article. It just goes to show, that theoretically computer storage can happen on anything that is binary-- anything that can change between a one (on) and a zero (off). This article talks about looking at the magnetic orientation of a single electron and using that as the binary differentiation to make the 1's & 0's.

"You have memory, one bit that is represented by one electron, and that's it," said University of Utah assistant physics professor Christoph Boehme. He says his team has controlled an electrical current through an electron's spin, or magnetic presence. He says all you have to do is read whether the electron has a north or south magnetic signature.
