Submission + - 256GB Geometricly Encoded Paper Storage Device
jrieth50 writes: Student Sainul Adibeen has apparently devised a method of using geometric shapes combined with color to store up to 256GB or more of data on a sheet of paper or plastic. From the story:
"Files such as text, images, sounds and video clips are encoded in "rainbow format" as coloured circles, triangles, squares and so on, and printed as dense graphics on paper at a density of 2.7GB per square inch. The paper can then be read through a specially developed scanner and the contents decoded into their original digital format and viewed or played."
Also mentioned is a smaller card-sized device for laptops capable of holding 5GB each.
