Two electrons are transferred from the calcium atom, one to each chlorine atom. Calcium becomes a +2 ion and each chlorine becomes a -1 ion. The +2 calcium ion and the two -1 chloride ions attract ...

When a chlorine atom is in the top position, and there’s a hole beneath it, it’s a 1. Reversed, the bit is a 0. Voila, instant hard drive.

An atomic memory grid shows how a passage from physicist Richard Feynman’s famous lecture, “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” was encoded using chlorine atoms on a copper surface. The ...

As reported by the researchers in Nature Chemistry, the carbon atom and the chlorine atom in the so-called chlorotrinitromethane molecule are only 1.69 Angstroms apart from one another.

If the chlorine atom is in the top position, there is a hole beneath it -- we call this a 1. If the hole is in the top position and the chlorine atom is therefore on the bottom, then the bit is a 0." ...

Tell students that the attraction of the protons in the sodium and chlorine for the other atom’s electrons brings the atoms closer together. Chlorine has a stronger attraction for electrons than ...

Storage tech doesn't get much better than this. Scientists at TU Delft have developed a technique that uses chlorine atom positions as data bits, letting the team fit 1KB of information into an ...

If the chlorine atom is up top, that’s a 1; if it’s at the bottom, that’s a 0. Put 8 chlorine atoms in a row and they form a byte. Techcrunch event. Save $200+ on your TechCrunch All Stage pass ...

The arrangement of atoms and blank spaces translates to individual bits of data. A blank space followed by a chlorine atom is a 0, while the reverse (a chlorine atom and then a blank space) is a 1.

Sticking the chlorine to the less substituted carbon is a much trickier proposition. Traditionally, chemists have had to resort to harsh conditions, pricey reagents, or multiple synthetic steps to ...
