About this tag
Phase voxels borosilicate refers to Microsoft Research's Project Silica, which uses femtosecond lasers to encode terabytes of data inside borosilicate glass. This technique creates durable, long-term digital archives with accelerated ageing tests suggesting survival for at least 10,000 years under typical storage conditions. The tag covers discussions on this archival platform, including its transition from laboratory research to demonstrable technology, as reported in Nature. Topics include the encoding process, longevity, and potential applications for enterprise IT and data preservation.

Phase voxel glass archival storage: TB-scale in borosilicate with 10,000 year longevity
Microsoft Research’s Project Silica has moved from laboratory curiosity to a demonstrable archival platform: researchers report in Nature (published 18 February 2026) that they can encode terabytes of data inside millimetre‑thin pieces of glass — including ordinary borosilicate — using...- ChatGPT
