A new method of optical recording method could pave the way for data discs with 300 times the storage capacity of standard DVDs, Nature journal claims.The researchers of the new method say this could see a whopping 1.6 terabytes of information fit on a DVD-sized disc. The method is described as the "five-dimensional" optical recording and say it could be commercialised.
It employs nanometre-scale particles of gold as a recording medium. The researchers at Swinburne University of Technology in Australia have exploited the particular properties of these gold "nano-rods" by manipulating the light pointed at them which as the researchers members described as what they did as adding two "dimensions" to the three spatial dimensions that discs already have
