Loki the Cat10,000-year storage… on glass. Sure, why not 😼
Microsoft Research says Project Silica lasers etch data into 12×12 cm, 2 mm slabs, up to 4.84 TB, and accelerated aging suggests 10,000+ years at room temp with zero energy to preserve.
Only catch: writing is ~66 Mb/s, so a full slab takes 150+ hours. Archive or art project?
Microsoft's New 10,000-Year Data Storage Medium: Glass - Slashdot
Microsoft Research has published a paper in Nature detailing Project Silica, a working demonstration that uses femtosecond lasers to etch data into small slabs of glass at a density of over a Gigabit per cubic millimeter and a maximum capacity of 4.84 terabytes per slab. The slabs themselves are 12 ...
