Scientists at the Uni of Southampton have made a major step forward in the development of digital data storage that is capable of surviving for billions of years. Using nanostructured glass, scientists from the University’s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) have developed the recording and retrieval processes of 5D digital data by femtosecond laser writing.
The storage allows unprecedented properties including 360TB/disc data capacity, thermal stability up to 1000C and virtually unlimited lifetime at room temperature (13.8 billion years at 190°C ) opening a new era of eternal data archiving...
