LINK Alberta scientists develop memory potentially exceeding hard drive capacity 1,000-fold - Edmonton | Globalnews.ca

this could be huge... I mean very tiny (still huge)

The scientists set out to find a way to provide more memory in less space. They say it took years of tiny advances in atomic-scale nanotechnology to make it happen.

*But they recently accomplished their goal, which they say allows for small, stable, dense memory at the atomic level.

  • “Essentially, you can take all 45 million songs on iTunes and store them on the surface of one quarter,” said Roshan Achal, a PhD student in the department of physics.

“Five years ago, this wasn’t even something we thought possible.”

Interesting article if true but that picture is weird. That younger guy should be a foot taller.

I know ... I have doubts but Globalnews is a legit news org in Canada.

Once density and cost get to where they can be, digital devices will go places we have not even considered. Great things to come, technology never stops !!
