Scientists achieve atom-sized data storage

[+DieChecker]

If the increase is only going to be 500 times, then probably that will make a better hard drive, but will not be a revolutionary technology. My first hard drive was like 10 Megabytes, and now my portable hard drive that I back up all my photos onto is like 1.5 Terabytes and costs $50. That's an increase of 150,000 times storage, roughly. 

Remember 10 years ago when people said no one would EVER need a terabyte hard drive?

Awesome, I always wanted ten trillion trillion microscopic supercomputers self-replicating inside my brain and allowing me to make entire planets explode with the blink of an eye.
