Record-breaking diamond storage can save data for millions of years
- Researchers demonstrated record-breaking data density in an ultra-stable and long-lasting system that uses lasers to encode information in diamonds
The article from New Scientist discusses a groundbreaking method for data storage using diamonds, which could potentially preserve information for millions of years. Researchers have developed a technique where data is encoded into the atomic structure of diamonds using a laser to create tiny defects known as "colour centres." These defects can represent binary data, with the potential to store vast amounts of information in a very small space. The diamond's durability means that this data could survive extreme conditions, including those found on other planets or moons, making it an ideal medium for long-term data preservation. This approach not only promises longevity but also offers a solution for archiving data that needs to be kept intact for future generations or for space exploration where traditional storage methods might fail.
