Researchers have created a new diamond storage system that is more accurate and reliable than current storage methods.

In their paper published in the journal Nature Photonics, the group notes that such optical discs could hold data safely at ...

“Once the internal data storage structures are stabilised using our technology, diamond can achieve extraordinary ...

The most common types are CD, DVD and Blu-ray. As removable media, optical discs superseded the earlier magnetic disk cartridges because they weigh less, have higher capacities and are not subject ...

A major development in the production of optical discs has happened this week. Scientists at the University of Shanghai have unveiled a new form of optical disc that can hold up to 200,000 ...

A storage system that contains multiple optical drives that read and write the media simultaneously. Libraries may hold one disc per drive or have storage for any number of discs or cartridges ...

Using 3D storage techniques, scientists at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology developed an optical disk capable of accommodating 1.6 petabits of data (that's 1.6 million gigabits).

Two-photon technology, which relies on overlapping light beams, can be used for three-dimensional multilayer storage and promises capacities of up to 10 Tbyte on a DVD-size disk. Today's optical ...

Starting while at a Silicon Valley startup, Siros Technologies, we explored an alternative approach extnending current optical disk technologies. Here, a spinning disk is written and read by a focused ...

CD-R - meaning CD-Recordable, the user can write data to the CD once or fill it over time using multi-session (writing to the same disc on separate occasions). CD-RW - meaning CD-ReWritable ...

As prices of writeable media and drives dropped, consumers rushed to duplicate games, create their own mix CDs, and backup their data on optical disc. It was a halcyon time. Fast forward to today ...
