5D Optical Data Storage
Eternal data archiving using nanostructured glass.

A storage medium capable of surviving for billions of years, often referred to as 'Superman memory crystals'. Data is recorded via femtosecond laser pulses into quartz glass, encoding information in five dimensions (size and orientation in addition to 3D position). This technology ensures the preservation of human knowledge, culture, and scientific data against civilizational collapse or catastrophic events.
