The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) just deflated the size of a bit down to a solitary nanometer - the length of an organic molecule. The international research team managed it by first embedding a magnetized iron atom into a molecule made up of 51 atoms, then taking advantage of so-called memristive and spintronic properties. By applying a current, they flipped the atom's magnetic charge, altering the resistance of the molecule as well - which they subsequently measured, storing a bit.
