Ah yes, let me just boot up my electron microscope in my computer to be able to utilize this tech
Well this is a data center oriented tech, anyway, and the current implementation doesn’t need that.
When AI start making videos in earnest, every storage media on Earth is going to clench its little butthole in fear.
What’s up guys it’s your favorite ai here

Data reading can be done with equipment using high-resolution microscopic imaging techniques or electron beam microscopy.
They do not say how to write this tape and to read it you need an extraordinarily costly device at extraordinarily slow rate 🤨.
Write with laser or particle beam. Read with microscope or electron microscope.
Read will be taking a snapshot of the area with the electron beam so it will depend on the speed of said microscope. The idea isn’t for ultra fast write and read access. It’s long term storage with low volume. Currently they’re using tape for long term storage but the longevity is likely less than that of ceramic.
I wonder how this compares to Microsoft’s Project Silica. It seems like it is much more dense in terms of data storage, but it also sounds like the data is etched into the surface of the ceramic vs Silica’s data being stored within the glass. Obviously still miles more durable than most modern data storage methods.
Oh jeez, that’s me.
Without knowing anything my guess is they are making layers of some graphene sheets with vapor deposition coating and making a roll or a sandwhich of that. I would imagine it will be extremely expensive.
