🏺 Material: etched into a thin #ceramic layer – claimed to last indefinitely with no energy or cooling required

🤝 Behind the record: collaboration between TU Wien (Institute of Materials Science) and #Cerabyte – a #startup for ceramic #datastorage

#GuinnessWorldRecord broken! 🏆 #TUWien & #Cerabyte create the world's smallest #QRCode pixels at just 49nm – smaller than bacteria! Etched into a thin #ceramic layer, readable only with an electron microscope 🔬

📐 Total size: just 1.98 square micrometers – beating the previous record by 63%

Project Silica’s glass storage archive tech progress A Microsoft review of Project Silica’s technology, progress and prospects suggests that “it represents the most promising solution for bridging the gap between current storage limitations and future archival requirements.” Project Silica is Microsoft’s development of a robotic archive library system using high-capacity glass tablets with laser-written, multi-layer, multi-level, data encoding schemes. We have reviewed […]

Optera’s room-temperature spectral hole optical storage archive Optera is an optical storage archive technology startup that stores binary digits using the presence or absence of photoluminescence. It does this using spectral hole burning and low-cost lasers, not the expensive femto-second kind as seen with Cerabyte and ewigbyte’s technologies. We first wrote about Optera in February this year. The magic lies in the […]

Seeing the light: Ewigbyte’s optical archive storage technology and strategy Fresh startup Ewigbyte’s optical archive storage technology and business model has some similarities with, but differs from, that of Cerabyte and we asked Ewigbyte Co-founder and Head of Operations Dr. Ina von Haeften some questions to tease out and understand the differences. Blocks & Files: How does your technology differ from that of Cerabyte? Ina […]

LTO-10 bumped to 40 TB as future tape capacities get cut The Linear Tape Open (LTO) consortium has reacted to higher capacity disk drives and SSDs with a 33 percent LTO-10 raw capacity upgrade to 40 TB and a target downgrade for the LTO-14 generation of 365 TB from the prior 576 TB. LTO tape is used for archiving and the consortium of HPE, IBM, and […]

Laser-carved storage, 100-year lifespan, and a robot arm - this futuristic HDD rival is just getting started Cerabyte wants to kill off magnetic tape by 2030 using ceramic lasers and some wild physics

Cerabyte aims to revolutionize data storage by replacing magnetic tape with laser-etched glass tablets, promising high density and durability. #Cerabyte #glassstorage www.techradar.com/pro/ceramic-based-startu...

Cerabyte Roadmap: Glas-Keramik-Speicher soll 2030 100 PB pro Rack liefern Spätestens 2030 will das Startup Cerabyte seinen keramischen Archivspeicher mit 100 Petabyte pro Rack anbieten.
