Tiny crystals could hold the key to creating computers with massive storage capacity, scientists believe.
The crystals could be used as storage devices for desktop computers capable of holding 100-times more data than current systems.
Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have been using low-energy lasers to make salt crystals in gel.
The development could allow [...]
