Scientists in Singapore developed a surprising use of ordinary table salt, saying the possibility of help in dealing with the growing amounts of data and stores which are formed by individuals and companies.
A new manufacturing process - which includes sodium chloride - to enhance the capacity of hard drives of computers multiplying six times.
The Daily Telegraph that this discovery research done by the Agency of Science and Technology in collaboration with the Singapore National University of Singapore and the Institute for data storage.
These bodies have developed a process that can increase the density of data recording for hard drives up to 3.3 terabytes per inch per square, which is six times the recording density of the current models.
Means adding sodium chloride to the manufacturing process standardization bits (information units) on the surface of each CD-ROM, which allows the confinement of more data.
It has good salt and the degree of clarity of e-beam used in the printing bits.
Said Dr. Joel Yang - who led the development process - that this discovery could give a very high degree of variation, "and we can now see the fine lines that are usually not clear."
According to Dr. Yang, the new method can be put on the market price of a trade by the year 2016 when it implemented the current methods and HDD makers need to find alternative ways to increase the data storage space.
