5D 'Superman memory crystal' heralds unlimited lifetime data storage
Data written to a glass “memory crystal” could remain intact for a million years, according to scientists from the UK and the Netherlands who have demonstrated the technology for the first time. The data-storage technique uses a laser to alter the optical properties of fused quartz at the nanoscale. The researchers say it has the potential
to store a staggering 360 terabytes of data (equivalent to 75,000 DVDs) on a standard-sized disc. More... |
