Some documents are too important to run the risk that they will be destroyed. If it no copy of the Declaration of Human Rights, for example, humanitarian issues would be even more complicated than today. Now, researchers from the University of Southampton in England are saying is that we can be carefree. If you depend on them, these records will last more than humanity itself.
Scientists have created what they call 5D, a mini-disk size of a coin that can store 360 terabytes. The product is so tough that those involved in the project have yet to determine how long it would take for the object to stop working under normal conditions. Even if you try to spoil the media, putting the CD in an environment at 190 ° C, the invention could endure this situation for 13.8 billion years (more than three times the age of our planet). To achieve burn currency - formed of fused quartz nanoestrutras - alone even at a temperature higher than 1,000 ° C.
The new name is no coincidence: to achieve storage size and strength, the scientists involved in the project say they have had to use not three, but five dimensions. In addition to the traditional, diameter, width and depth, the reading of data also examines the shape and the speed with which lasers emitted by readers come within the coin.
Among the immortalized documents so far are the Bible, Optics (book by Isaac Newton), the Magna Carta and the aforementioned Declaration of Human Rights. "It's exciting to think we've created a technology for preserving documents and information that can be stored in space for future generations This technology can serve as a last evidence of our civilization:. Everything we have learned will not be forgotten," he said in a statement Peter Kazansky, teacher University and responsible for the project.
The next step is that the product hits the shelves. The project team is currently seeking partners for the idea is marketable.
