Next Generation DATA STORAGE on Nanometre-scale

Imagine having all the information recorded on a stack of 1,540 CDs on a disk the size of single CD. Or visualise having all the information recorded on a stack of 154 CDs written on a one inch square chip.
New probe microscopy techniques and new organic materials could be combined in the next generation data storage technology - which will be nanometre scale technology with major - impact on related storage technologies.
We can believe that nanotech organic films will be the storage date medium of the near future, using micro-electro-mechanical systems, or MEMS probe devices, to read and write on the medium. Information will be written, read and stored in clusters of molecules within the inexpensive films. By current conventional, a CD (optical disk drive) holds 500 megabits of data per square inch. And by current conventional
