Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. During recent prior year projections for digital storage and memory we have not talked much about digital storage using optical ...

These days our appetite for more data storage is larger than ever, with video files larger, photo resolutions higher, and project files easily zipping past a few hundred MB. At the same time our ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have proposed a new type of memory, in ...

Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new path for storing far more data in the same physical space. A research team led ...

After decades of research and development, humanity finally has a data storage medium that will outlast us.… The 5D Memory Crystal stores data by using tiny voxels – 3D pixels – in fused silica glass, ...

Researchers at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology developed a groundbreaking 3D optical disc capable of storing up to 1.6 petabytes of data—equivalent to over 200,000 DVDs on a ...

Glass nanostructures etched using high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses promise to keep vast quantities of data safe for billions of years, describe Peter Kazansky, Ausra Cerkauskaite and Rokas ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that the magnetic component of light plays a direct role in the Faraday effect, overturning a 180-year-old assumption that only its ...

Holographic data storage represents a transformative approach for recording information volumetrically by utilising the interference patterns of coherent light. In contrast to conventional ...

You consider yourself a power user. You’ve got lots of files, and damn it, you like to keep them backed up. Around a decade ago, you gave up on burning optical discs, and switched to storing your ...
