Superdisk Is 1,000 More Capacious than Blu-ray
Currently, Blu-ray disks are the most capacious optical storage media available on the market, but even they have reached a point where they are barely capable of housing the newest PS3 games. Indeed, Sony and Panasonic did announce plans to increase capacity to 33.4GB per layer. A certain team of Japanese researchers, however, seem to think that this progression in density is not going fast enough, which is why it came up with a solution that might make Blu-ray, and all other optical disks, obsolete.
Apparently, the team found a material, known as titanium pentoxide, that might serve the purpose of creating disks with up to 1,000 more storage space than a Blu-ray disk. By hitting titanium pentoxide crystals, in their black-color metal state, with a laser, the compound turns into a brown semiconductor. The aforementioned data capacity can be attained by using the smallest type of such particles.
