We live in a world where digital information is exploding. Some 90% of the world’s data was generated in the past two years. The obvious question is: how can we store it all?

In Nature Communications today, we, along with Richard Evans from CSIRO, show how we developed a new technique to enable the data capacity of a single DVD to increase from 4.7 gigabytes up to one petabyte (1,000 terabytes). This is equivalent of 10.6 years of compressed high-definition video or 50,000 full high-definition movies.

So how did we manage to achieve such a huge boost in data storage? First, we need to understand how data is stored on optical discs such as CDs and DVDs.

This is pretty crazy. I wonder how much they will cost.

This is amazing, it goes to show how technology has developed over the years. But like Jango said, how much will it cost? Probably VERY expensive. :ass:

That's fascinating, such big of a difference, wonder when it would be available for purchase, all you need is one for life as long as it's RW.
