Quote: "Near-field optical technology is also being applied to semiconductor production, which could one day lead to smaller line-width geometries beyond present limitations. The advance would allow a chip's circuitry to be etched closer together."

Quote: "Tsai said the high-density disc, which will be rewritable, can be used in existing DVD drives."
