Using nanostructured glass, scientists from the University=E2=80=99s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) have developed the recording and retrieval processes of five dimensional (5D) digital data by femtosecond laser writing. The storage allows unprecedented properties including 360 TB/disc data capacity, thermal stability up to 1,000=C2=B0C and virtually unlimited lifetime at room temperature (13.8 billion years at 190=C2=B0C ) opening a new era of eternal data archiving." https://futuristech.info/posts/eternal-data-archiving-with-5d-nanostructure= d-glass-holds-360-tb-and-could-last-for-billions-of-years Ah, imagine boring future generations with your cat videos and porn searche= s ... mjw
