That's ALOT of hype, I'll wait for independent 3rd party testing to validate all the claims.

What else can you do but wait? 🤔

I hope they at least have a laboratory prototype rather than just realizing you can take a piece of material and etch small details into it. Anyone can make that claim. And that note about not needing what are essentially bespoke scientific measurement equipment 'at first' is even more disturbing.

Hmm... wouldn't this technology also apply to disc-based storage?

Ceramics can indeed do crazy stuff, but have a whole other set of issues. I have no doubt they can store information at those densities and similar temperature ranges. It's the practicality of reading and writing that is concerning. You would need some crazy advanced coating and laser equipment.

I'm surprised it doesn't prevent COVID, cure cancer and help me lose weight too.

Tape good for 5,000 years ?

I doubt there are that many atoms in the part of the device that would carry the record when created. Who knows, maybe instead of science, they record with usage of magic?

If not suport nukes strike... can't be trusted for 5000 years.

Was superexcited when reading the title but then read they're planning on using optical and even electron microscopes instead of having a new super-durable solid-state memory for ssds. Also no mention of rewritability. I guess this new ceramic material will make for a good medium for super-durable cds, dvds and Blu-ray Discs.

Now I have to buy the White Album again.

So it sure sounds like a single write medium.
So once you fill it up it's gotta be changed and to be read a camera has to physically move to the data location.
Sounds a little whack but I guess we'll see how it goes
