This chunk of glass could store two million books for 10,000 years
Anand Jagatia, a reporter who covered Project Silica, walks through laser-written data storage in glass and why conventional drives fail for millennial archiving. He covers how femtosecond lasers inscribe bits in borosilicate glass, three-dimensional DVD-sized stacks holding millions of books, microscopy-based readout, and the team's estimates that the data could survive 10,000 years.
