Dotcom World-31:

Digital World-15: "The Super DVD"

Scientists from Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia, have announced a revolutionary DVD with unbelievable storage capacity, which will be the same size and thickness of a conventional DVD; but this ultra DVD can store up to 2000 films equivalent to 300 DVDs. They have employed nanotechnology to store vast amounts of data on a single DVD. This technology should go commercial within five years.

Based on "A Guide to What is New in the Audio, Video World: Small Moves, Big Difference" by Naresh Sadhwani and Deepak Jhangiani, Deccan Chronicle, May 31, 2009.

Computer World-20: "500 GB Optical Disc!"

The multinational, General Electric, has made a breakthrough in disk storage. It has come up with a optical disc or micro-holographic disc with storage capacity of 500 GB! That is one optical disc equivalent to 100 DVDs. At present, Blu-ray discs store data in three-dimensional form and have capacity of 25 GB and 50 GB. Blu-ray discs have dramatically changed viewing movies at home with their high-definition quality. I eagerly await the arrival of these micro-holographic discs in the market and would like to see what other advantages they have over other discs.

Kudos to the General Electric team who have achieved this breakthrough.
