Korean-U.S. Team in Computer Storage Breakthrough
A Korean-U.S. research team has developed technology that could increase computer storage capacity more than 10,000 times, in theory allowing 12,500 films to be stored on a single DVD.
The team of Park Soo-jin (35), a professor of nano-biochemical engineering at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, and Thomas Russell, a professor at the University of Massachusetts, in a paper published in the Thursday issue of Science said by adopting a self-assembly method by which molecules take certain forms by themselves, they succeeded in increasing the capacity of storage media more than 10,000 times.
