english: And while those drives are currently in the prototype stage, scientists already have the next potential trick up their sleeves: bit-patterned media, where bit locations are arranged  in separate, nano-sized structures, potentially allowing for areal densities of twenty terabits per square inch or more.
non_english: In medtem ko so ti pogoni trenutno v fazi prototipov, imajo znanstveniki v rokavu že nov potencialni trik: medij bitnih vzorcev (BPM), na katerem so lokacije bitov razvrščene v ločene nano strukture, kar potencialno omogoča gostote zapisa 20 terabitov na kvadratni palec ali več.
