The scientists increased the capacity by leaps and bounds using an optical disc with a 3D planar recording architecture, which uses a highly transparent, uniform photoresist film doped with ...

Scientists have developed a new type of optical disc that can increase information storage capacity to the "petabit" level — 125 terabytes of data, or the combined storage capacity of about 15,000 ...

Optical discs, such as DVDs and Blu-rays, may have completely fallen out of favor in the PC games business over the last few years, but scientists have possibly thrown a lifeline to the ...

Forward-looking: Despite consumer PCs and game consoles transitioning to faster SSDs, traditional disk drives (HDDs) continue to offer ever more space for cold storage at lower prices. One company ...

You consider yourself a power user. You’ve got lots of files, and damn it, you like to keep them backed up. Around a decade ago, you gave up on burning optical discs, and switched to storing your ...

Folio Photonics today announced it will showcase how it is reenergizing data storage media innovation with the first-ever enterprise-scale, optical disc data storage solution that delivers ...

Hard drives and flash storage have gotten more reliable over the years, but only on a human timescale. What if we need data storage that lasts longer? Decades? Millennia? The key to that might be 5D ...

We could soon store 700 Terabytes on a 12-centimeter optical disk which would be equal to storing 28,000 Blu-ray disks. A separate advance with in data encoding could triple storage to 2.1 Petabytes ...

GE Global Research, the technology development arm of General Electric Co., said today it has made a breakthrough in holographic optical disc storage, claiming that its researchers have developed ...
