Nanodots may drastically increase digital data storage capacity
Scientists are developing tiny magnetic particles called nanodots that are only a few billionth of a meter in diameter. The nanodots are showing promise in decreasing the amount of data storage space by at least one-hundred times what is currently held with hard disk drives. With storage requirements doubling about every year, nanodots may hold the answer to handling increasingly large amounts of digital data.
