Thanks neverdem. This is interesting, because some Sony exec stated (not too long after the BluRay format war victory over HD-DVD) that BluRay will be the last optical format. Guess he spoke too soon.
Chemists in Japan have created the first material that can undergo a photoreversible transition from metal to semiconductor. The breakthrough heralds applications in ultra high density data storage, with 500 times the density of a Blu-ray disc.
What a waste of tax dollars!!! :') Had to be first.
Of course you realize what this will do for the requirements for Windows installation disks...

Optical storage? Wasn’t that what the HAL-9000 was supposed to be based on? Look how well that turned out... :-)
