1. In what ways can molecular magnets be used to further military technology?
1.1. These magnets can possibly be used for cyber security in order to more effectively store sensitive information.
1.2. They could eventually have other uses in military technology, but no other uses have yet been discovered.
1.3. Possible Sources: Chemical and Engineering News online and Science Direct online.
2. What potential careers are available that require working with molecular magnets?
2.1. Electrical engineering can involve the use of molecular magnets.
2.2. Computer hardware and development also involved the use of molecular magnets.
2.3. Possible Sources: Phys.org, ICIQ.org, internet research about possible job requirements
3. What would be available in today's technology if molecular magnets had never been used for the advancement of technology?
3.1. We probably would not have laptops, smartphones, or iPods.
3.2. We probably would not have small storage devices that can hold large amounts of information within them. For example, flash drives, memory cards, and small external hard drives.
