They applied a 70 Tesla magnetic field to make that work. Magnets that strong will overheat if you keep them running so they can only be used in short pulses. Oh, and you also need to cool the device with liquid helium. How exactly is this great for spaceflight now? We already have radiation-hard data storage. You add enough error correction to deal with the occasional bit flips.
It’s interesting as new material, but this attempt to find an immediate application is ridiculous.

Finally,a very practical scientific discov….
Oh this is going to take some time isn’t it lol
