This is interesting to me because not long ago I read the spectacular A History of Modern Computing by Paul Ceruzzi. There's an interesting chapter about the old magnetic core memory that persisted well into the early years of DEC and the minicomputer revolution. This is different, but similar.

Non-physicist here, but I wonder how hard it will be as an engineering challenge to keep all those little magnetic fields isolated and separated, and how resilient it would be to ambient effects? Still, glad to see innovation for the sake of innovation, if only because if we stop trying to stop making progress.
