 Introduction
Scientists from the university of Southampton in the
UK have created a new data format that encodes
information in tiny nanostructures in glass.
A standard sized disc can store around 360 terabytes of
data, with an estimated life span of upto 13.8 billion
years even at temperatures of 190 degree celsius.
 5D Techonolgy
 Using nanostructured glass, scientists from the
university’s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) have
developed the recording & retrivel processes.
Data encoded in 5 dimensions by femtosecond laser
writing.
 Nick Name Superman Memory Crystals.
First demonstrated in 2013 when a 300kb digital copy of
a text file was successfully recorded in 5D.
 How Data Stores
 Data in documents was recorded using ultra fast producing very
short & intense pulses of light the file is written in three layers
of nanostructure dots separated by five micro meters.
 Data Printing On The Glass

5D optical data storage written in fused quartz using a femtosecond laser.

Three spatial dimensions & two optical ones are exploited.

illustrating the micron-sized dots (not to scale) which the nanogratings are
stored in .
 Future Scope

“Who knows what’s going to happen thousands of

years down the line, no one can predict that,” says
Patel. “But what we can guarantee is that we have the
ability to store the culture, languages, & essence of the
human race in a simple piece of glass. For future
civilizations – or whatever else is out there.”
 Conclusion
These is more useful for organisations, we
can store the data safely for billion years.
