Data Storage On Your Fingernail

[Garibaldi]

“Secure optical data storage could soon literally be at your fingertips thanks to work being carried out in Japan. Yoshio Hayasaki and his colleagues have discovered that data can be written into a human fingernail by irradiating it with femtosecond laser pulses. Capacities are said to be up to 5 mega bits and the stored data lasts for 6 months – the length of time it takes a fingernail to be completely replaced.”

Thanks, but no thanks, I would like to keep my fingernail as is.

I’d rather just go with a holographic chip myself..
