A nanoparticle is 1/50,000 the width of a human hair and it can now hold your data for a billion years! Currently all digital recording devices degrade over time but students at Bearkly are developing a storage device using nanoparticles that should be able to store data for just about forever with fear of loss. This is huge for preservation of our society and the commercial aspects will also be huge. I’m sure this technology is years away from the average user but it just goes to show you where we are headed!
