UK-based startup SPhotonix was formed in 2024 to commercialize what's known as 5D optical data storage, often referred to as "memory crystals." Essentially, the technique encodes ...

Using high-speed lasers, researchers have created "5D" data storage technology that could allow 500 TB of data to be written to a CD-sized glass disc, according to the Optica society. The technique ...

SPhotonix is working towards commercializing its 5D optical "memory crystal" technology that uses lasers to write nanoscale data into durable fused‑silica glass. One 5‑inch disc can hold 360TB. The ...

CDs can hold 640 MB of data. A standard DVD tops out at 4.7 GB. And Blu-ray discs hold up to 50 GB. But a team of researchers have found a way to pack 500 terabytes onto a glass disc that’s the same ...

Data in 5D Optical Memory is intended to last for millennia. The US company SPhotonix is thus competing against rivals such ...

With any type of creative or engineering project, you have to be aware of your target, whether that's the audience for a joke, the landscape for a building, or the use-case for a piece of hardware or ...

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 ...

The scientists increased the capacity by leaps and bounds using an optical disc with a 3D planar recording architecture, which uses a highly transparent, uniform photoresist film doped with ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. During recent prior year projections for digital storage and memory we have not talked much about digital storage using optical ...

Glass nanostructures etched using high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses promise to keep vast quantities of data safe for billions of years, describe Peter Kazansky, Ausra Cerkauskaite and Rokas ...

The first thing to be stored on the glass-based storage is Superman: The Movie from 1978, with glass square that contains Richard Donner's timeless classic measuring in at 7.5cm x 7.5cm x 2mm and ...

Researchers describe a new high-speed laser writing method for writing data that encompasses two optical dimensions plus three spatial dimensions. The new approach can write at speeds of 1,000,000 ...
