Meet the Super DVD: Scientists Develop Massive 1 Petabit Optical Disk (gizmodo.com)

Note: Unfortunately the research paper linked in the article is a dead/broken/wrong link. Perhaps the author will update it later.

From the limited coverage, it doesn't sound like there's an actual optical drive that utilizes this yet and that it's just theoretical based on the properties of the material the researchers developed.

I'm not holding my breath, but I would absolutely love to be able to back up my storage system to a single optical disc (even if tens of TBs go unused).

If they could make a R/W version of that, holy crap.

Yeah, in a very odd and confusing episode of SNW, they retcon the bananas out of it. And I particularly dislike that they made me feel bad for KiddieKhan, annoyer of Kirk, wielder of ear eels, and creator of world.

Oh, and in the background shot of 2022 Toronto, I definitely saw a squirrel there. So I called you on your bullshit. You’re actually Wesley crusher, traveler, and squirrel-shaped shapedshifter. J’accuse!
