Japan has developed a new 25G disc made of corn
According to the Russian News Network reported on November 7, the Japanese Pioneer Company announced that they have successfully developed a new generation of DVD discs, and the raw material for manufacturing such discs is extremely cheap corn. In the future, consumers may simply “bury†this CD in the soil to destroy the data. Japanese scientists said that 87% of the materials on this new disc are made of pure natural corn and biological additives, and their storage capacity can reach as much as 25G. In addition, Pioneer also affirmed that: "Even if it is burned, it will not release any harmful chemicals." Although most of the materials on the CD-ROM are derived from corn, its strength is sufficient to guarantee the data stored. Safety - The researchers plated a 0.1 mm thick hard rubber coating on the surface. However, Pioneer still has not yet decided when to market this new type of optical disc. Earlier this year, Sony and another Japanese company, Toppan Printing, had also launched an optical disc that was as thin as cardboard. If you want to completely destroy the data stored on it, you can use a pair of scissors to achieve the goal.
