In previous attempts at such "indent-based" data storage systems, the indents served as binary code. The presence of an indent represented a 1, while the absence of an indent represented a 0. Not only ...
The total amount of data stored in data centres around the globe is of the order of ten zettabytes (a zettabyte is a trillion gigabytes), and we estimate that amount doubles every couple of years.
Spiral scanning creates six distinguishable polarization patterns in ferroelectric films, enabling data storage beyond binary and more than doubling information density per storage element. (Nanowerk ...
