A crack team of nanoengineers and biologists have created a non-volatile memory device out of salmon DNA and silver nanoparticles. The memory is write-once-read-many (WORM), just like an optical disc.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In a world driven by data, the relentless growth of digital information is pushing existing storage technologies to their limits. Every day, vast amounts of data are generated, ...

It's magnetic. It's electric. It's photonic. No, this isn't going to be about a new superhero trio in the Marvel universe. This is all about our precious digital data. We need to store it somewhere ...

Holographic technology is on the brink of revolutionizing optical data storage and distribution. Kevin Curtis of InPhase tells Marie Freebody about the final push to market and why this technology ...

An optical memory based on a semiconductor ring laser is under development in a new project by a pan-European consortium of universities and companies. Photonics scientists have long sought an optical ...

Earlier this year the IEEE Roadmap and Systems (IRDS) released a technical roadmap report on Mass Data Storage. I was the co-chair on this activity along with Roger Hoyt which included experts on ...

3D surface profilers are in wide use today across many industries due to their ability to quickly deliver critical topographic data, and optical profilometers provide non-contact measurements of step ...
