Abstract

Chinese researchers have developed a DVD-sized disc with a storage capacity of 200 terabytes by storing data in three dimensions. The data is recorded in dots that are 54 nanometers wide, allowing for a higher data density than Blu-ray discs or modern hard drives. The researchers believe that this new optical disc could be used in large data centers, potentially reducing their size from a stadium to a room. The disc is made of a new light-sensitive material called AIE-DDPR, and the researchers are working on improving the writing speed and energy consumption of the method. [Extracted from the article]
