DESCRIPTION
IBS-QNS researchers in South Korea have made a major scientific breakthrough by detecting the nuclear magnetism, or 'nuclear spin' of a single atom. In an international collaboration with IBM Research, the University of Oxford and the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, the scientists used advanced and novel techniques to measure the nuclear spin of individual atoms on surfaces for the first time.
