Video of ceramic storage system prototype surfaces online — 10,000TB cartridges bombarded with laser rays could become mainstream by 2030, making slow hard drives and tapes obsolete

Ceramics-based storage medium consumes very little energy and lasts more than 5,000 years, creators say

Those totally look like the isolinear chips from Star Trek

    … Data can be written at GBps speeds, with TB/square-centimeter areal densities …

    Say, 8 Tbits/cm² (so 1 TB/cm²) …
    this is aprox ( 10-7m )2 unit cells.

    Conventional optical microscopy cannot resolve this, so, maybe they are using evanescent surface optics ?

            Thanks for these kind words Mr C. Happy.
            (I know there must be a joke and I’m sorry that I do not get it. I have a lot of difficulty to grasp many jokes. Thanks anyway.)

              The line “I like your funny words, magic man” is from this scene from Clone High. People use it when they want to show they don’t understand what was said but appreciated it none the less. CrackHappy changed it to “magnet man” because they are least got that much from what you were saying.

                Aaah ! that’s why ! Thanks :)
                People wouldn’t believe but since 10 years I’ve watched maybe 5 to 10 hours (total) of video including YouTube, TV and whatever. Also went to cinema maybe five times.

        This would absolutely make sense. Unfortunately, they don’t say whether or not (it’s 3D) in the article. Well … they do describe it as a microscopic QR code which is 2D.

        Yes I agree : they must have a very expensive, very powerful and very precise writing device.
