Leeds, England -- Researchers at Princeton University and Hewlett-Packard believe they have created new recordable media technology that is paper-thin, can hold up to 1GB of data and has the potential to make the compact disc obsolete within five years, Ananova.com reported. The research centers on "the discovery of a previously unknown property of a commonly used conductive plastic coating," called PEDOT. The device would be similar to a recordable CD crossed with a memory card, which can "plug directly into an electronic circuit and have no moving parts."
