Scientists report that a memory device is capable of storing data for more than one billion years. The 10 to 100 gigabits of data per square inch on today’s memory cards has an estimated life expectancy of only 10 to 30 years. Packing more digital data onto these memory cards makes it less life expectancy. The denser you pack, the quicker it spoils. Now scientists have an idea to rectify this situation with a new computer memory device that can store thousands of times more data. (source: technology.am)
