Golden touch: next-gen optical disk to solve data storage challenge
Source: Mr Qiming Zhang
Scientists from Australia and China have drawn on the durable power of gold to demonstrate a new type of high-capacity optical disk that can hold data securely for more than 600 years. The technology could offer a more cost-efficient and sustainable solution to the global data storage problem while enabling the critical pivot from Big Data to Long Data, opening up new realms of scientific discovery. Lead investigator, RMIT Universitys Distinguished Professor Min Gu, said the research paves the way for the development of optical data centres to address both the worlds data storage challenge and support the coming Long Data revolution. Lead author, Senior Research Fellow Dr Qiming Zhang from RMITs School of Science has more.
