Breakthrough in High-Capacity 3D Nanoscale Optical Disk Memory Achieves Petabit Capacity

A breakthrough in high-capacity storage technology has been achieved with the development of a 3D nanoscale optical disk memory with petabit capacity. Optical data storage (ODS) has historically faced limitations in terms of capacity and areal density, but researchers have successfully increased the capacity of ODS to the petabit level by extending the planar recording architecture to three dimensions with hundreds of layers. This groundbreaking development holds significant promise for addressing the escalating data storage needs in a more sustainable and efficient manner.
