A Nanotechnology-based Approach to Data Storage

Summary: Introduces “Millipede,” a thermomechanical scanning-probe storage system achieving ~1 Tb/in² in polymer films. Large 2D arrays of thousands of batch-fabricated cantilevers provide parallel read/write/erase, combining ultrahigh density, compactness, and high throughput.
