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 ...

Want to make sure you back something up indefinitely? Then you could do worse than a digital data storage technique that uses laser light to store 360 terabytes of information on nanostructured quartz ...

Ewigbyte combines optical read/write units with automated handling for large-scale archivalData is stored on inert media ...

Cerabyte, founded in 2022 in Munich, Germany and recently opened a Silicon Valley headquarters. It has raised $10M in seed funding to date, announced availability of protypes of its ceramic on glass ...

Using nanostructured glass, scientists at the University of Southampton have, for the first time, experimentally demonstrated the recording and retrieval processes of five dimensional digital data by ...

Optical storage can last a century, give faster access to data, and is backward compatible with earlier optical technology, yet disk drives and tape rule in long-term storage. Optical media is the ...

Sony XDCAM cameras simultaneously record at MPEG-4 low-res proxy along with the main DVCAM or IMX signal. Videotape has been the mainstay of television recording since the days of Ampex. In the last ...

We could soon store 700 Terabytes on a 12-centimeter optical disk which would be equal to storing 28,000 Blu-ray disks. A separate advance with in data encoding could triple storage to 2.1 Petabytes ...

This morning Hitachi demonstrated its ability to encode data onto what it calls "quartz glass". Data etched into the material should last 100 million years, the company claims. Diamonds may be forever ...
