The firm claims it's cost-effective, fast, and scalable technology for future data storage because no energy is consumed to store data and it can last more than 5,000 years due to the fact it's made from ceramic. The best hard drives and best SSDs, by contrast, need to be replaced every few years.

lol, they for real discovered something that was discovered 12,000 years ago. ceramic keeps for a long time.

I'm pretty sure their discoveries here are not the material properties of ceramics, but how to turn them into cost effective digital storage devices.

He who keeps the old akindle, and adds new knowledge, is fit to be ~~a teacher~~ an inventor.
