Researchers at the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) have made advances in designing data storage formats – 5D Memory Crystal, capable of storing up to 360 TB of information. 5D Memory Crystal is equivalent to fused quartz with thermal stability of up to 1,000°C, toleration to extreme freezing, and resistance to force of up to 10 tons/cm2. The 5D Memory Crystal could be a landmark moment in eternal data archiving (virtually 13.8 billion years at 190°C).
