Hard disk pioneers win physics Nobel



"France's Albert Fert and Germany's Peter Gruenberg won the 2007 Nobel Prize for physics on Tuesday for a breakthrough in nanotechnology that lets huge amounts of data be squeezed into ever-smaller spaces."

Wow, and I thought the technology of HDD was mind blowing in 1977 when I first encountered it. So this is how they got such amazing aerial densities.
