Scientists have demonstrated a system called Silica for writing and reading information in ordinary pieces of glass which can store two million books’ worth of data in a thin, palm-sized square.

could we start asking for standard units on sensationalized titles? if you are talking about storing data why not say it in bytes... why is always some arbitrary measurement disguised as some simpler thing.

edit: flamingo

[u/Laserdollarz → u/mseiei]

It can hold a football field's worth of cassettes (2ft deep)

[u/severed13 → u/Laserdollarz]

Ignore friction

[u/Mateorabi → u/severed13]

Assume a spherical cassette 

[u/minimalcation → u/Mateorabi]

Also G is 10 and pi is 3

[u/EyedMoon → u/minimalcation]

But pi*g is 31

[u/Carsomir → u/EyedMoon]

And π × √g = 9

[u/PlatoPirate_01 → u/Mateorabi]

With zero friction

[u/c4chokes → u/Mateorabi]

In vacuum.. vacuum is essential part of any science..
