Entry #51: 5D Discs



Researchers at the University of Southampton's Optical Research Center have just created a new method of storing data. They call the new format 5D Discs and these can store up  to 360 TB per disc. The discs can withstand 1000 degrees C and are supposed to be able to survive up to 13.8 billion years at room temperature. This seems like a pretty cool advance and that much of history will not be lost to time with this kind of technology.
