But now, researchers at Stanford university in Palo alto, California, have used another feature of the electron its tendency to bounce probabilistically between different quantum states to create holograms that pack information into subatomic spaces.

#World's first space detective agency launched IN THE MIDDLE of a boundary squabble with your neighbour? Want to find out who is dumping waste near your house?
You need to call the space detectives. Satellite imaging specialist Raymond Harris and space lawyer Raymond Purdy both at University college London have launched just Air & Space Evidence Ltd of London the world's first space detective agency.
The pair intend to use their combined experience of space-based photographic databases and Earth observation privacy law to ensure that people can wield authentic imagery that stands up in court.
They want everyone to have the chance to use space imagery to settle legal disputes from homeowners disputing garden boundaries to businesses fighting vehicle theft.
Insurers might find it useful in investigating fraud and councils in tackling environmental assaults such as waste incineration or illegal logging and quarrying.
The space detectives will use their expertise in commissioning space images to order and their familiarity with the databases of space image suppliers like Digital Globe of Longmont Colorado.
We can make a difference by ensuring space images have audit trails that stand up says Purdy.
and Skybox Imaging make inexpensive space imagery more widely available. Paul Champion a private investigator based in Cardiff UK
and a governor of the Association of British Investigators says the notion of space-based detection is fascinating.

The graph would be a diagonal line in a two-dimensional space. Now imagine rotating the axes of the graph
Similarly i-vectors find new axes for describing the information that characterizes speech sounds in the 120000-dimension space.
