TU Delft presents smallest hard drive ever – NU.nl

The hard disk of the TU Delft has a storage capacity of 80 terabits per square centimeter, more than five hundred times more than the largest hard disks to get the consumer market.

“In theory, we would have this capacity all the books that mankind has ever written can save on one stamp,” says Sander Otte, leader of the research presented Monday.

The chlorine atoms are located on a surface of copper atoms, wherein each chlorine atom can be located at two positions. The atoms are read and shifted with the aid of a so-called a scanning tunneling microscope; wherein a very sharp needle the atoms one by one scanning.

For now, TU Delft atomic disk will not find even in data centers or mobile phones. The memory now only can functionereren in a vacuum environment, cooled to -196 degrees Celsius
