Microsoft's new 10,000-year data storage medium: glass - Ars Technica:
There’s been a lot of preliminary work demonstrating different aspects of a glass-based storage system. But in Wednesday’s issue of Nature, Microsoft Research announced Project Silica, a working demonstration of a system that can read and write data into small slabs of glass with a density of over a Gigabit per cubic millimeter.
I’m not a big fan of Microsoft, but this is just flat out cool.
