Innovation: Stacks more data
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.IBM scientists have unveiled multi-layer compact disks that offer huge gains in storage capacity. The disks are made by stacking two or more recording surfaces. At today's storage density, a 10-layer disk could store the equivalent of a million pages of printed text, with about a 10-second access time. To date, capacity increases in optical data storage have been due to increases in the density of information that could be written on a single disk surface.
