Glass Memory: A New Way of Storing Data(Stores data for minimum thousand years)

Earlier today I was talking to my friend about her brother’s marriage ceremony video that took place way back in 2005. But we could not view them cause the DVD that stored the video was corrupted. That’s the major drawback with DVD’s as they can’t store data for longer durations.

Well then what the solution for storing data for longer durations?

Hmmm, Glass Memory is the answer.

Making the use of lasers researchers arranged the atoms present in the glass. Thus allowing our data to be stored even at 922 degrees Celsius or at coolest temperature or even under water. But the kooolest part is that it can hold data for very long duration as well. Our data will be available even after thousands of years.

The laser used is a rare one and has the capability to write, delete or edit data into the molecular structure of glass. It is believed that the size of the glass will be similar to that of our mobile screen and can hold up to 60GB of data.
