Diamond is a promising material for data storage, and now scientists have demonstrated a new way to cram more data onto it, down to a single atom. The technique bypasses a physical limit by writing ...

Writing data on glass via laser could store data for over 10,000 years: Researchers New Delhi | Encoding data into glass through laser could be a promising avenue for holding huge quantities of data ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Existing methods of data storage do not last long, meaning that data has to be migrated every few years, which wastes energy and money. Microsoft’s ...

Zettabytes—that’s 10 21 bytes—of data are currently generated every year. All of those cat videos have to be stored somewhere, and DNA is a great storage medium; it has amazing data density and is ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a fast and energy-efficient laser-writing method for producing high-density nanostructures in silica glass. These tiny structures can be used for long-term five ...

In recent years, researchers have used DNA to encode everything from an operating system to malware. Rather than being a technological curiosity, these efforts were serious attempts to take advantage ...
