Scientists Develop New Type of Battery That Could Provide Energy on Mars

Diamond optical discs could store data for millions of years

"Once the internal data storage structures are stabilised using our technology, diamond can achieve extraordinary longevity—data retention for millions of years at room temperature—without requiring any maintenance," Wang explained to New Scientist.
The article from Popular Science discusses a breakthrough in data storage technology by researchers at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, who have developed a diamond-based optical disc capable of storing data for an astonishing 66,000 years. This innovation utilizes a diamond layer on a disc, which, when etched with a femtosecond laser, can hold data in a way that is resistant to environmental degradation. The disc can store up to 1.6 petabits of data, equivalent to 200,000 GB, making it significantly more durable and capacious than current storage solutions like Blu-ray discs. The technology promises not only longevity but also high data density, potentially revolutionizing archival storage for future generations. However, the article notes that while the technology is promising, it's still in the research phase with no immediate plans for commercial production.
