Really intriguing. My father was in the data storage industry (magnetic tape), so I've always watched innovations in this sector with great interest. Nine times out of ten, the storage-density breakthroughs you read about end up being commercially meaningless because they aren't thermally or chemically stable. Doesn't matter how many TB/cm^2 you're writing, if the material degrades after a couple of weeks or months. This announcement is dramatically different, which strikes me as really interesting. Manufacturability is the other obstacle which data storage inventions traditionally founder upon, on the road to commercialisation. I don't have a sense of whether or not that'll be an issue here. If it isn't a problem... then yes, this could be a genuine game-changer.
