Scientists just found a way to store massive data using light in 3 dimensions

SMRTR summary

Scientists developed a revolutionary holographic data storage method that uses three properties of light—amplitude, phase, and polarization—to store massive amounts of information in three dimensions rather than on flat surfaces like traditional hard drives. By combining tensor-based polarization holography with artificial intelligence decoding, this technique significantly increases storage capacity within the same space and enables faster data retrieval for future applications.
