Researchers at the Swinburne University of Technology, in Hawthorn, Australia, have found a way to add more dimensions to optical disc recording. They use multiple wavelengths and polarizations of light to record data on multi-layered discs. The technique could pack 1.6 terabytes of data on a standard-size DVD, the researchers say.
