NTT announces holographic memory breakthrough: Called Info-MICA (Information-Multilayered Imprinted CArd), the new memory is capable of storing 1GB of data within the size of a postage stamp. For data storage, digital data is converted to a two-dimensional image which is then stored using holographic principles, on the special multi-layered media. For data retrieval, a laser beam will be used to re-convert the interference patterns back to the images and then the original data.
