... Data can be written at GBps speeds, with TB/square-centimeter areal densities ...

Say, 8 Tbits/cm² (so 1 TB/cm²) ...
this is aprox ( 10^-7^m )^2^ unit cells.

Conventional optical microscopy cannot resolve this, so, maybe they are using evanescent surface optics ?

I like your funny words, magic man

Very happy to hear you saying this, well, this is science not magics :
Evanescent field
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evanescent_field
In electromagnetics, an evanescent field, or evanescent wave, is an oscillating electric and/or magnetic field that does not propagate as an electromagnetic...

I like your funny words, magnet man.

Thanks for these kind words Mr C. Happy.
(I know there must be a joke and I'm sorry that I do not get it. I have a lot of difficulty to grasp many jokes. Thanks anyway.)

Good question. "Everything was built with CoTS components"... Hmm.

I think it's 3dimensional not 2

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

This would absolutely make sense. Unfortunately, they don't say whether or not (it's 3D) in the article. Well ... they do describe it as a microscopic QR code which is 2D.
