5-D optical memory in glass could record the last evidence of civilization

Posted: 09 Jul 2013 09:39 AM PDT

Using nanostructured glass, scientists have, for the first time, experimentally demonstrated the recording and retrieval processes of five dimensional digital data by femtosecond laser writing. The storage allows unprecedented parameters including 360 TB/disc data capacity, thermal stability up to 1000 degrees C and practically unlimited lifetime.
