New Method Of Self-assembling Nanoscale Elements Could Transform Data Storage Industry

New Method Of Self-assembling Nanoscale Elements Could Transform Data Storage Industry: "'The density achievable with the technology we've developed could potentially enable the contents of 250 DVDs to fit onto a surface the size of a quarter,' said Xu, who is also a faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory."

"An innovative and easily implemented technique in which nanoscale elements precisely assemble themselves over large surfaces could soon open doors to dramatic improvements in the data storage capacity of electronic media, according to scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst).
