One of the many advantages that technology has provided us thanks to its evolution is that while large devices were created in the past, today those same machines can be built much smaller in size and offering the same performance. On this occasion, a magnet the size of an atom has been created, the smallest ever created.
This new magnet represents a before and after in aspects such as quantum physics or the magnetism of iron, in addition to opening the door to the development of new memory devices. This magnet is born thanks to the fusion of different elements and chemicals.
The smallest magnet ever created
When finishing all the pertinent work, it was discovered that the layer that covered the magnet was magnetic , although several tests had to be done to increase that magnetism because at the beginning it was quite weak.
In fact, it reached a point where the magnetic forces were so strong that scientists observed how the different elements of the magnet were fighting each other.
Therefore, it was necessary to continue working to reduce the magnetism and make it stay at an optimal point , something that the team has finally managed to do.
In addition, it was found that the magnet not only works perfectly at room temperature but also works great at temperatures close to 95 degrees Celsius.
Better than anyone created before
Other times, people have tried to make a magnet with very small dimensions, but never before has had such an effect as this one, which works at room temperature. The previous ones lost many of their qualities when they were not put under cold temperatures.
It was illogical to work with these devices that only operated at freezing temperatures, since no work environment is experienced at those temperatures. In addition, its other advantage is its tiny size , of a single atom.
Since the creation of this magnet has been a great success , it is expected that many researchers and scientists from different parts of the world will work on new technological products using this research as a basis since many devices could be created that require some type of magnetic device, as it has a very small and flexible structure.
Although the creation of this magnet is already a reality and has become a success, it will continue to be studied and worked with for the future.
All scientific works require a lot of dedication and effort but once they are achieved, it is very satisfying since a simple creation can help many people or even companies to manufacture new articles.
