Thousands of years from now, what will remain of our digital era? The ever-growing vastness of human knowledge is no longer ...

Scientists at Microsoft Research in the United States have demonstrated a system called Silica for writing and reading information in ordinary pieces of glass which can store two million books’ worth ...

Quantum communication has long promised unbreakable encryption, but the hardware has struggled to escape the lab. A new generation of laser-written glass chips is changing that equation, carving three ...

As quantum computers continue to advance, many of today's encryption systems face the risk of becoming obsolete. A powerful ...

New Delhi | Encoding data into glass through laser could be a promising avenue for holding huge quantities of data for more than 10,000 years, as the technique is resistant to moisture, temperature ...

Researchers from Aalto University in Finland demonstrated a proof-of-concept of laser-processed glass to be used as a type of solar concentrator for building integrated PV (BIPV) applications. The ...

Scientists show that it is possible to make a femtosecond laser that fits in the palm of one's hand using a glass substrate. Is it possible to make a femtosecond laser entirely out of glass? That's ...
