Microsoft scientists invent tiny glass ‘books’ that could store data for millennia
SMRTR summary
Microsoft Research scientists developed a revolutionary glass data storage system using lasers to etch information into tiny glass blocks, capable of storing 4.8 terabytes in a piece smaller than a smartphone and preserving data for over 10,000 years. This breakthrough could replace current archival systems that only last decades, potentially creating permanent glass libraries to store humanity's most important records.
