1979 called, and they want their "Intel Magnetics 7110" one megabit bubble memory chips back. At the time, it seemed that bubble memory would supplant disk, tape, and even core memory (RAM to you). Maybe memristors will happen.

It’s neat but I can’t think of a worse storage medium.

Is this article trying to milk an Ig Nobel Prize?

If so, they’re very talented at it

Perhaps it will become their cheapest tier of Amazon Glacier?
