New stamp-sized hard disk made from novel molecule can store 500,000 TikTok videos
SMRTR summary
Scientists have developed a new molecule enabling tiny hard drives to store massive amounts of data. This breakthrough could allow a postage stamp-sized drive to hold 500,000 TikTok videos or 40,000 copies of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album. The novel single-molecule magnet works at -173°C and can potentially store 3 terabytes per square centimeter. While requiring extreme cooling, this advancement could lead to next-generation hardware with 100 times more capacity than current technologies.
