Hitachi reveals way of storing information for millions of years
Hitachi has developed a way of storing data that it says can keep information stable for hundreds of millions of years.
Hitachi is confident of the longevity of the storage method because it heated one of the bits of glass to a temperature of 1,000° Celsius for two hours and was able to read all of the information back.
