Data in Glass: Project Silica and the 10,000-Year Storage Revolution

We dive into Microsoft's Project Silica and its Nature paper, a bold plan to fight the digital dark age by storing data in borosilicate glass for up to 10,000 years. Learn how femtosecond lasers carve phase voxels inside glass, how parallel writing speeds up encoding, and how AI decodes the readout from a dense, layered medium. We explore why this glass can change the economics of long-term storage, plus real-world demos like Warner Bros.' Superman and the Global Music Vault, and what this could mean for preserving culture and science for millennia.
