Researchers develop a magnetic sensor that is made from only 11-atoms

Researchers from Delft University of Technology developed a magnetic wave sensor that is only 11 atoms in size. The sensor includes an antenna, a readout capability, a reset button and a memory unit.

The researchers say that this tiny sensor will be used to learn more about the behavior of magnetic waves, and could one day be the basis of spintronics devices.
