Optical disc made from diamonds and lasers stores data for millions of years

The article from BGR discusses a groundbreaking development in data storage technology where scientists have created an optical disc capable of storing data for millions of years. This new technology utilizes diamonds and lasers to etch data into the disc, offering an unprecedented level of durability and longevity. The disc, developed by researchers at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, can withstand extreme conditions like heat, radiation, and electromagnetic fields, making it ideal for long-term data preservation. The data is inscribed in five dimensions, including the size, orientation, and three-dimensional position of the nanostructures within the diamond, allowing for a high storage capacity. This innovation could revolutionize how we archive data, ensuring that information remains intact for future generations, far beyond the capabilities of current storage solutions like hard drives or optical discs.
