-
The magneton is feathered to give the ice more time to thermalize its vibrational energy.

Storing patterns in a transport buffer is extremely risky; a loss of power, physical damage to the transporter system, or such phenomena as ion storms or magneton pulses can all compromise the integrity of a quantum-level signal.

Starting from this idea Kusch made a series of very careful investigations and found in 1947 that the magnetic moment of the electron is larger than the Bohr magneton by about one part in a thousand.
-
Moreover, the experiment rendered it possible to estimate the magnetic factors of the electron, which proved to be in close accord with the universal magnetic unit, the so-called "Bohr's magneton".

But ideas give birth to new ideas, and it was, as I understand, in this way that you hit upon the excellent notion of eliminating the difficult absolute determination of the magnetic field by a direct measurement of the neutron moment in units of the proton cycle (the nuclear magneton).
-
It was suggested by the American physicist Breit that the reason for this could be that the magnetic moment of the electron is somewhat different from the value assumed until then which is called a Bohr magneton.
