The scientists set out to find a way to provide more memory in less space. They say it took years of tiny advances in atomic-scale nanotechnology to make it happen.

*But they recently accomplished their goal, which they say allows for small, stable, dense memory at the atomic level.

• “Essentially, you can take all 45 million songs on iTunes and store them on the surface of one quarter,” said Roshan Achal, a PhD student in the department of physics.

“Five years ago, this wasn’t even something we thought possible.”
