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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

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 ...

Forward-looking: Modern data storage has a short lifespan. Hard drives fail, SSDs wear out, and even magnetic tape needs periodic rewriting to avoid degradation. Now, an ambitious technology is aiming ...

The technology is what is known as five-dimensional (5)D optical storage and it is one the University of Southampton team has been pursuing for a while. It was first demonstrated back in 2013, with ...
