A talanted team from Swinburne University of Technology in Australia might be on their way to unleash new technology that can hold at least 1.6 TB of information on an optical disc. That's 32 times the storage capacity of a 50 GB Blu-Ray technology, and the team is optimistic as they claim their new technology could scale to 10 TB per disc in 10 years time.
"We were able to show how nanostructured material can be incorporated onto a disc in order to increase data capacity, without increasing the physical size of the disc," Min Gu, who worked on the research, said in a statement. "These extra dimensions are the key to creating ultra-high capacity discs." he added.
Samsung Electronics has signed a deal with the researchers and is looking to speed up the process of creating the new technology. A major obstacle appears to be the writing speed, at 1.6 TB of storage, simplicity and speed play a key role. More information on the project, can be found here.
