By deploying cutting-edge lasers, scientists at the University of Southampton have achieved a 5D optical data storage breakthrough that offers both incredible density and long-term archiving ...

Technology '5D' storage could hold 10,000 times more data than a Blu-ray disc. An advanced version of the technology used to create DVDs and Blu-rays can store far more data, though it takes a while ...

Eternal 5D data storage could record the history of humankind Date: February 15, 2016 ... modifying polarisation of light that can then be read by combination of optical microscope and a polariser ...

Researchers at the UK’s University of Southampton are working on a five-dimensional optical data storage medium that could hold the equivalent of 10,000 times more data than a single Blu-ray disc.

Optical storage media such as DVDs are more stable, but with standard single-layer discs maxing out at 4.7 GB of data, they are an unwieldy option for vast digital archives. Scientists have been ...

The key to that vision might be 5D optical storage, which has a data density 10,000 times that of a Blu-ray disc (Opens in a new window). But it's always been far too slow to write data onto glass ...

The technique, known as 5D optical memory, has the potential to store up to 360TB of data on a medium that will last for thousands of years. The nanograting system can also be used on metal. The ...

More advanced optical technology like DVD and Blu-ray add multiple layers of pits to add a third dimension. 5D optical storage adds two more dimensions via variable refractive index (birefringence).

The Kings James Bible recorded into 5D optical data storage. The storage allows unprecedented properties including 360 TB/disc data capacity, thermal stability up to 1,000°C and virtually unlimited ...
