A New Breakthrough In Data Storage

Imagine taking the entire collection of historical documents at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and storing it on a single DVD. University of Central Florida Chemistry Professor Kevin D. Belfield and his team have cracked that puzzle by developing a new technology that will allow users to record and store massive amounts of data; as 500 movies, onto a single disc or small cube. His team figured out a way to use lasers to store large amounts of information permanently without the possibility of damage. This is a great step towards "making things smaller" and a way to store large amounts of data in one place.
