The 500,000 GB MP3 player sounds possible now:
Can you even imagine an MP3 player with a 500,000 GB capacity? It’s pretty much beyond belief. The most generous player today can only hold around 40,000 songs – they’d hardly make a dent on this.

Scientists at the University of Glasgow have created a nanotechnology breakthrough that could increase storage capacity by 150,000 times. It could mean 500,000 GB on a single chip and inch square.The Glasgow scientists worked to create the molecule-sized switch that’s at the heart of it all.They worked to make the molecule-sized switch that would be in the middle of the gadget. They have already found the way to increase the data storage capabilities that is a great breakthrough. The scientists created a functional nanocluster that includes two electron donating groups; and are positioned precisely 0.32 nm apart. Thus, they compose up-to-date model of molecular switching device. The molecule sized switches would provide the increase of the data storage capabilities up to 4 Petabytes per square inch. Their conceptual idea points the fact that everything is possible.The switches work on carbon, the whole system will become more flexible, because they can be built into plastic chips and there will be no need for the silicone.

Professor Lee Cronin at the University of Glasgow said,“What we have done is find a way to potentially increase the data storage capabilities in a radical way. We have been able to assemble a functional nanocluster that incorporates two electron donating groups, and position them precisely 0.32 nm apart so that they can form a totally new type of molecular switching device. The key advantage of the molecule sized switch is information transistor density in traditional semi-conductors. Molecule sized switches would lead to increasing data storage to say 4 Petabits per square inch. This breakthrough shows conceptually that this is possible (showing the bulk effect) but we are yet to solve the fabrication and addressing problems. The fact these switches work on carbon means that they could be embedded in plastic chips so silicon is not needed and the system becomes much more flexible both physically and technologically.”
