New Technique For Optical Storage Claims 1 Petabyte On a Single DVD

melios writes "Using a two-light-beam method a company claims to have overcome Abbe's Law to dramatically increase the storage density for optical media, to the 9 nm scale. From the article: 'The technique is also cost-effective and portable, as only conventional optical and laser elements are used, and allows for the development of optical data storage with long life and low energy consumption, which could be an ideal platform for a Big Data centre.'"

    Want to skip non-fast-forwardable content? Start the DVD as normal, then press Stop. You'll be returned to your DVD players boot screen. Press Stop again, then press Play. The DVD feature will start immediately.
