Computer hard drives and other devices use tiny particles of magnetic materials to store digital information. Technological advances require an increase in the density of information storage and therefore even smaller magnetic particles. This project has the potential to synthesise materials where a single molecule could act as the smallest possible unit of magnetic memory. The future application of these materials may provide an increase of three orders of magnitude in information storage density. In addition, they may find employment in quantum computers, which can perform calculations exponentially faster than conventional computers.

计算机硬盘和其他设备使用微小的磁性材料颗粒来存储数字信息。 技术进步需要增加信息存储的密度，因此需要更小的磁性颗粒。 该项目有可能合成一种材料，其中单个分子可以作为磁存储器的最小可能单位。 这些材料的未来应用可能会使信息存储密度增加三个数量级。 此外，它们可能会在量子计算机中找到工作，量子计算机的计算速度比传统计算机快得多。
