Scientists Discover a Way to Store Data in Ice Using Only Air Bubbles

Scientists see the potential in using ice for long term data storage.

Ingenious ice-bubble coding could put data in long-term cold storage

The ice that makes up glaciers isn't 100% solid – it's actually full of air bubbles, some of which formed centuries ago. Inspired by this fact, scientists have developed a method of using bubbles to store coded data in ice. The technology could actually have some practical applications.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Data Storage, Ice, Coding
