Crystals allow for 1,000x storage density uplift

by

Metal oxide crystals of rare metals can store thousands of times more data than traditional storage methods due to a new storage technique. This has been made possible by manipulating the atoms within these crystals. Researchers at the University of Chicago recently published the results of a study of new storage methods. In doing so, … Read more

Quantum-inspired Technique Stores Terabytes of Data in a Millimeter Crystal

by

Insider Brief Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a new memory storage technique using atomic-scale crystal defects to store binary information. The technique, inspired by radiation dosimetry, uses rare-earth elements and optical control to trap and release electrons, enabling high-density data storage. The innovation allows a millimeter-sized crystal to store terabytes of classical … Read more
