This glass disc can store 360 terabytes of photos over 13.8 billion years
If you backup the photos you are using optical discs or external hard drives, there is a high probability that your file will face the so-called "disk rot" and "decay data".
Want pictures of you survived and preserved for future generations? Then great news for you: soon, you may be a new technology of "eternal" storage.
Scientists have developed a nanostructured glass discs, which can store digital data for a billion years.
This week researchers from the University of Southampton announced that they have figured out how to store vast amounts of information on a small glass disk using laser writing. They call it five-dimensional (5D) digital data, because in addition to three-dimensional nanostructure "bits" of data, the role of size and orientation.

This glass disc can store 360 terabytes of information, resistant to high temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F) and, as expected, at less extreme temperatures (up to 190°C or 374°C) will save the data safely over 13.8 billion years.
This development "opens a new era of eternal data archiving", because the drives have "virtually unlimited lifetime", say employees of the University.The greatest benefit of this innovation will extract the museums, the national archives and the library.
Scientists kept on separate drives several important documents: the Universal Declaration of human rights, the Magna Carta and the king James Bible. Most likely they'll outlive the human race.
The universal Declaration of human rights, recorded on the 5D glass disk.
Currently, researchers are looking for company, cooperation with which will be able to deliver such advanced data storage technology to market. When will "eternal" drive and will it be available to all comers, yet unknown.
P. S. And remember, only by changing their consumption — together we change the world! ©
