New 5D Storage Can Store 360 Terabytes of Data on Tiny Disc for Billions of Years
Using nanostructured glass, scientists from the University’s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) have developed the recording and retrieval processes of five dimensional (5D) digital data by femtosecond laser writing.
The storage allows unprecedented properties including 360 TB/disc data capacity, thermal stability up to 1,000°C and virtually unlimited lifetime at room temperature (13.8 billion years at 190°C ) opening a new era of eternal data archiving. As a very stable and safe form of portable memory, the technology could be highly useful for organisations with big archives, such as national archives, museums and libraries, to preserve their information and records.
Now, major documents from human history such as Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Newton’s Opticks, Magna Carta and Kings James Bible, have been saved as digital copies that could survive the human race. A copy of the UDHR encoded to 5D data storage was recently presented to UNESCO by the ORC at the International Year of Light (IYL) closing ceremony in Mexico.

The self-assembled nanostructures change the way light travels through glass, modifying polarisation of light that can then be read by combination of optical microscope and a polariser, similar to that found in Polaroid sunglasses.
Coined as the ‘Superman memory crystal’, as the glass memory has been compared to the “memory crystals” used in the Superman films, the data is recorded via self-assembled nanostructures created in fused quartz. The information encoding is realised in five dimensions: the size and orientation in addition to the three dimensional position of these nanostructures.
Professor Peter Kazansky, from the ORC, says: “It is thrilling to think that we have created the technology to preserve documents and information and store it in space for future generations. This technology can secure the last evidence of our civilisation: all we’ve learnt will not be forgotten.”
The researchers will present their research at the photonics industry’s renowned SPIE—The International Society for Optical Engineering Conference in San Francisco, USA this week. The invited paper, ‘5D Data Storage by Ultrafast Laser Writing in Glass’ will be presented on Wednesday 17 February.
The team are now looking for industry partners to further develop and commercialise this ground-breaking new technology.

Here’s the intro on this. This is seriously awesome tech!

It will never be released to the public, because if we know one thing, it is that REVISIONIST HISTORY requires the ability to perpetually change the immediate past as soon as it is inconvenient to remember it. Paper books locked data in solid form that was undeniable as long as you had a copy. That was beyond inconvenient, it was intolerable. We then had digital data (with it’s very short lifespan), but that was inconvenient still. Then we built ‘the cloud’ so that those ‘in power’ could have the only backups, the only true control over what was ‘stored’ and ‘kept’. Inconvenient 5 years from now? No problem, have a bot re-write it, or simply ‘destroy it and claim it is lost’.
If there is one absolute fact of human existence, it is the fact that we will not tolerate ‘long archive life’. We have been pushed to the brink of permanent short-term-memory and eternal amnesia. Why in the world do you think they would ever let us ‘peasants’ have something so powerful as an eternal-archive that we could throw up to the ‘powers-that-be’ anytime we needed to? This will NEVER be made available for our use, so in fact, it is then nothing but a ‘crowing point’ for the elite to claim ‘it has been like this forever, and we have the proof that is has been’. In reality, it may only really remain uncorruptable for 5 years, but when you have no way to refute it, then you have no way to challenge the ‘mainstream status quo’. What a joke, a news article to substantiate more ‘we know better than you’ propaganda from the elite.
The only problem here is something called the paywall, once something is behind the paywall it is out of the public domain, if it is library stored as an archive, the index is the censor. Currently I work with an NGO trying to get vets their pensions pre 1975 who should have had their contributions transferred into a civil service pension scheme but because their service was short their pensions entitlements were erased from history. Try getting something like that out of the national archives, which I live above since they are stored in a salt mine a mile under my home.
