I for one don't believe it until I see something firmer than "I heard
somewhere".  SEMs, if I'm thinking of the right device (maybe I'm
thinking of atomic force microscopes?), can resolve individual atoms,
and if the magnetic domains are smaller than that then (a) we the disk
customers being grossly cheated on storage density and (b) I want to
know what's storing the data.
