Stanford's Quantum Hologram Sets Storage Record

eldavojohn writes "It's often assumed that representing data reaches a limit when you get to the point that an atom represents one bit in some form or fashion. But Stanford University researchers have used a quantum hologram model to store the characters 'S' and 'U' by encoding the data at a rate of 35 bits per electron."

Keeping fingers crossed for this fire in Churchill Park. I was in Tasmania last week and saw a big area south of Launceston where fire had taken out transmission lines. It looked like hot work putting new pylons up and stringing new cable. In this case I believe the conductivity of ionised gas below the transmission line can cause an apparent short to ground and take out the power supply.
