According to a new article in Nature magazine, Chinese researchers have been able to create a DVD-like disc with hundreds of layers – extending the disc capacity to the petabit level.

Researchers at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology published their results a few days ago. Using a 54-nanometer laser, the team managed to record hundreds of layers of data onto an optical disk, with each tier of the three-dimensional stack separated by just one micrometer.
