Researchers develop 5D glass disc storage media that can survive billions of years.
Modern science has done it again, this time in the field of IT storage. Scientists at the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) used nanostructured glass to develop a storage media that can hold up to 360 terabytes of data at up to 1,000 degrees Celsius, and a virtually unlimited lifetime supply of data at room temperature.
