Initially, there will be no need for particle beams/electron microscopy

It sounds like this might never be viable in the consumer space. Pity. The world is more cloud-centered than I'd like as it is. I want 1PB in my pocket!

They said the same thong about ssds for mass storage. Granted this tech is dramatically different. But we went from coffee table sized laser disks in the 90s to psp disc's in the 2000s. That's like a 1:100 size reduction and at a 1000 x data storage rate. Who knows what the future stores.
