Submission + - "Five-Dimension" Disc May Store 10TB on On (computerworld.com)
QuixoticWonderer writes: "Computer World has a story about a new disc technology that has the potential to hold up to 10TB on a DVD sized disc.
Researchers from Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne said the technology, dubbed multiplexed optical recording, can create a "fifth dimension" of recording, using polarization and gold nanorods to reflect light, boosting data density beyond 1,012 bits per centimeter. The team was able to store 1.6TB of data on a disc with the technology and said that someday the technique could yield up to 10TB on a single DVD-type disc.
