Microsoft Project Silica Can Preserve Terabytes of Data in Glass for 10,000 Years Without Power
Microsoft’s Project Silica demonstrates that digital data can be stored in ordinary borosilicate glass for over 10,000 years. Using femtosecond lasers, researchers encode information as microscopic 3D voxels, achieving densities of 4.8 terabytes on a 2mm sheet. Unlike magnetic tapes or hard drives that degrade within decades, glass resists heat, ...

Scientists Construct 5-Micron Engine Generating Effective Heat of 13 Million Degrees Celsius Without Burning
A team of scientists has created a microscopic engine made from a 5-micrometre glass bead suspended in an electric field. By applying oscillating voltages, the bead moves as if it’s in an environment of 13 million°C, even though it remains cool. The study reveals bizarre thermodynamic effects at tiny scales, offering clues to how natural molecul...

New ‘Gambling Carnot Engine’ Challenges 200-Year-Old Thermodynamic Law
Almost 200 years after the Carnot limit defined the maximum efficiency of heat engines, scientists have introduced a microscopic design that seems to break the rule. Called the “Gambling Carnot Engine,” it works by monitoring a single trapped particle and stepping in at just the right instant. This clever feedback process allows the engine to c...
