Mysterious bond between atoms found in white dwarf stars could change computing forever

Mysterious bond between atoms found in white dwarf stars could change computing forever | Mail Online: "A new kind of bond between atoms found only in the crushingly intense magnetic fields of white dwarf stars could unlock new secrets of quantum physics.

The find - a 'third kind' of bond between atoms, unknown on Earth - could also unlock the secrets of ultra-powerful new computers.

White dwarf stars have magnetic fields 10,000 times stronger than the strongest fields on Earth - and the strange chemical bonds occur within the fields

The find rewrites the rules of the universe - adding a third kind of bond after the 'ionic' and 'covalent' bonds learned by schoolchildren."
