3.4 terabyte on surface to size of credit card
That means raised can become that the whole content of the British Library on a chip. Ted Williams, as a professor connected at the Throat University, has its invention meanwhile gepatenteerd. The British university has attracted Cavendish Management Resources (CMR) to exploit the invention commercially.
“The system takes advantage of a magnetic-optical technique”, says Loaf Downey, manager of CMR. “With this is the possible in totally 3.4 TB at information on a surface to size of a credit card on to hit.” (1 TB = 1000 GB drove-). The chip becomes at least 1.5 centimeter thick.
According to Downey, the researchers of the university have celebrate developed different techniques to hit large quantities data on a chip on. The new technique can be brought within two year commercially on the market. A memory chip would need no longer expenses then 50 dollars.
