Here's some interesting information from my alma mater that I found through BoingBoing. Sooners' Physical Chemist Bing Fung and his colleagues have stored a 32 pixel black & white image in a single molecule by adjusting the properties of constituent hydrogen molecules. Fung and company dub the process "molecular photography," and could lead to a new form of data storage.
In more banal news, I'm intrigued by Yamaha's DiscT@2 technology, which allows you to use a CD burner to etch images into the CD's substrate. According to Tom's Hardware, burning DiscT@2 eats up CD space that could be otherwise used for data, so this is a total novelty, but I can just imagine doing a big art project with a few dozen tattooed discs. Fry's sells IDE DiscT@2 burners for less than $100, so its not exactly exotic technology. Sadly, there's no online gallery of DiscT@2 art yet.
