Scientists have created a new type of optical disc, called AIE-DDPR, that can store up to 125 terabytes of data, equivalent to 15,000 DVDs. This new material offers a higher storage capacity than traditional HDDs and has the potential to revolutionize data storage.
Scientists have developed a new type of optical disc that can increase information storage capacity to the 'petabit' level — 125 terabytes of data, or the combined storage capacity of about 15,000 DVDs. Optical discs, such as DVDs and Blu-ray discs, are durable and inexpensive. A standard single-layer Blu-ray disc can store 25 gigabytes. By comparison, some USB flash drives can store 1TB, and hard disk drives (HDDs) can hold up to 16TB.
But a team of scientists has created a new type of material, called 'dye-doped photoresist with aggregation-induced emission luminogens' (AIE-DDPR) with a high areal density (the amount of data that can be stored in a given area) that can offer far denser storage capacity than typical HDDs). Given the increasing amount of data we generate each day, from instant messages to streaming video, AIE-DDPR optical discs have the potential to revolutionize data storage. Optical discs take up less space than current storage methods, be more environmentally friendly and could become less expensive than data storage arrays
