Nanotechnology just took a HUGE leap: hard drives stored in single atoms

By manipulating the interactions between individual atoms, scientists report they have created a device that can pack hundreds of times more information per square inch than the best currently available data-storage technologies.
The working prototype is part of a decades-long attempt to shrink electronics down to the atomic level, a feat scientists believe would allow them to store information much more efficiently, in less space and more cheaply.
By comparison, tech companies today build warehouse-sized data centers to store the billions of photos, videos and posts consumers upload to the internet daily. Corporations including International Business Machines Corp. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. also have explored research to reduce such space needs.

And that's how the matrix begins

That's awesome. I feel like quantum computing will blow everything out of the water once we have it working.

Imagine - in 50 years a simple injection can give a person ALL of our knowledge at their disposal

But we still won't have battery technology that will keep my laptop going more than an hour.

So which stock do I buy?

Will this mean my Rant, Bama board, and Porn Hub sites will faster?

Yet the common friggin cold still confounds us

I have personally wondered why at some point our long distance space probes can't be small. Could be a difference maker.

That's cool. I wonder about longer term stability for archiving.

Wasn't in the bible so therefore I refuse to believe or understand it

This. I feel like the news is getting bad about lauding these super technologies that in reality have a lot of conditions attached to them.

Awesome we have overcome step 85 in a journey that requires 19,542 steps! Lets celebrate!
