Researchers have used lasers to encode information in diamonds, demonstrating record-breaking data density of 1.85 terabytes per cubic centimetre in an ultra-stable and long-lasting system. We spoke to researcher Ya Wang at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei about how her team managed to store images inside the diamond

Unfortunately there’s new storage tech like this every few months and none ever gets to production because there’s no marketable demand for it 🙁

Has anyone tried putting an old fashioned, terrestrial diamond in whatever reading device they made for this technology?
I like to imagine people, unknowingly walking around with encyclopedias of long dead, ancient, high tech societies, on their fingers just for the flex.
