Superman memory crystal<\/b>') created in fused quartz (one of the hardest and most durable natural structures in Earth's history) and femtosecond laser writing to record data in five dimensions (5D).The technology was first experimentally demonstrated in 2013 when a 300 kb digital copy of a text file was successfully recorded in 5D.\n

In comparison, Blu-ray discs can store up to 23.5 GB on a single layer and last about 7 years. \n

Upon successful testing of the 5D optical disc, one of the first things the research team did was to write the King James Bible on one such small disk. The team has now written a series of major works to small glass discs\u2014 including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Newton\u2019s Opticks and the Magna Carta.\n

This new advance tech could be a game changer in the way we store our data not only capacity wise but also time wise. Maybe the team would get a Nobel for their invention this year.\n
