About 90% of the digital information that exists today was created in the past two years. Finding new materials able to capture this expanding digital world—and that are less energy-hungry—has become a priority for many research laboratories around the world. The Jean Lamour Institute in the East of France has set up state-of-the-art nanotechnology equipment to tacle this challenge.
