Five-dimensional data storage developed by scientists at the University of Southampton optoelectronics research center (ORC) is to write 5-dimensional digital data recording and retrieval process on a nano-structured glass with a femtosecond laser, It has heat resistance and can store 360 ​​TB of data virtually indefinitely at room temperature and can store data over 13.8 billion years even in a high temperature environment of 190 ° C. With the advent of portable memory with extremely high stability and safety, it is thought that it can make a great contribution to the maintenance of information of organizations with large archives such as national archives, museums and libraries.


The 5-dimensional data storage was used for the first time in the world,Universal Declaration of Human Rights(UDHR), and the development of these technologies is drawing attention as it can safely store the technology and information of human beings accumulated until the last days of human civilization. Researchers at the University of Southampton on February 17, 2016 ""5-dimensional data storage" to write on glass with ultra high-speed laserWe will publish the paper entitled " The research team is seeking industrial partners to commercialize these technologies.


The manufacturing process of 5 dimensional data storage is released in the following movie.
