This is rather interesting. Scientists have found a way to store information inside a molecule, though it doesn't stay there very long. I'm not sure why we would ever need to keep pictures inside molecules, or how we would ever use something like this in our everyday lives. A Molecular Briefcase perhaps? A 9.6 bazillion-gigabyte hard drive the size of your pinkie toe? The only drawback to technology that gets smaller and smaller is the lack of memory upgrades in our brains to allow us to use these things without losing them in the sofa cusions.
