Mp3 players to have 500,000 Gb of Capacity in the future

26 April 2008 8 Comments

In the future mp3 players might have around 500,000 GB of capacity. Scientist have developed a molecule sized switch which can increase the capacity by 150,000 times. Because of the switch, 500,000 GB can be stored in to one square inch. Current standards fit only 3.3 GB.

This project is being  developed by Professor Lee Cronin and Dr Malcolm Kadodwala at the University of Glasgow. By placing the switch on a surface of gold or carbon, upto billion transistors can be fitted on a single chip. This way the capacity of mp3 players can be increased. Lets see what we get to see in the future but it definitely sounds a great innovation.

      This is unbelievable! Just think of the implications for laptops and mobile phones.

      I say a technology for projecting a keyboard that you can type on. Then Texas Instruments are crating a 30″ full colour projector that fits in a mobile phone.

      Just image a mobile phone that projects a monitor onto a white wall, a keyboard onto the table and uses one of these chip as shared hard disk and memory. It would be the perfect travel computer!
