UK-based startup SPhotonix was formed in 2024 to commercialize what's known as 5D optical data storage, often referred to as "memory crystals." Essentially, the technique encodes ...

Glass nanostructures etched using high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses promise to keep vast quantities of data safe for billions of years, describe Peter Kazansky, Ausra Cerkauskaite and Rokas ...

Using high-speed lasers, researchers have created "5D" data storage technology that could allow 500 TB of data to be written to a CD-sized glass disc, according to the Optica society. The technique ...

A new method of writing data onto glass using lasers could store 500 terabytes on a single optical disc – but it takes so long to create that its applications may be limited. The technique uses ...

In 2016, progress was made in data storage development as scientists at the University of Southampton successfully developed ...

Optical data storage company SPhotonix has raised $4.5 million in a pre-seed funding round, led by Creator Fund and XTX Ventures, the venture capital arm of XTX Markets. The startup said the funding ...
