Transparent glass has been identified as a vital medium for three-dimensional (3D) optical information storage and multi-level encryption. Towards this goal, Scientist in China designed and ...

Monolithic glass space-variant polarization converters are able to store data in silicon glass, which is said to never degrade. Recently we heard about the M-DISC, which can reportedly store data ...

Forward-looking: German storage startup Cerabyte has an ambitious target: to create storage racks able to hold more than 100 ...

Researchers have developed a doped form of photochromic glass capable of indefinite rewritable data storage, as reported in ACS Energy Letters. A tiny cube of transparent glass holds these 3D designs ...

The size of the datasphere has exploded. In 2020, the world created or replicated more than 64 zettabytes of data.That number that is expected to increase to 175ZB by 2025, driving the need for ...

But the challenge in using photochromic glass for data storage involves not only writing information into the glass but also erasing and rewriting it ad infinitum. Now, Jiayan Liao, Ji Zhou, Zhengwen ...

For decades researchers have been exploring how to store data in glass because of its potential to hold information for a long time — eons — without applying power. A special type of glass that ...

Once files are etched onto quartz glass using, for example, Microsoft’s 3D laser arrangements, they’re there for the foreseeable future. Microsoft says this is ideal for cloud storage situations.

Instead of writing data to a magnetic storage medium, it encodes that data in a sheet of glass smaller than a DVD. Microsoft engineer Ant Rowstron explains that simply keeping data safe over time ...
