A memory density of 51 M per square centimeter ? Whatever , stock DVD . Australian scientist developed a new multilayeroptical storagemedium that can put up data point at 1.1TB / cm3 .
Unlike existing DVD technology , the key to this data storage proficiency is the fact that multiple pieces of data can be stored in just the same localisation — up to ten layers deep . Each layer is occupy with aureate nanorods that are conditioned to react only to particular type of twinkle . When the memory mass medium is illuminated by a laser of a specific color and polarization , only the veracious nanorods are activate and read .
Though this is a jumbo step towards more effective data storage , scientists have yet to evidence this proficiency on a rotating disc . In addition , they predict that it will be a write once , read forever intermediate . [ Ars Technica ]
