A glass capable of storing information in three dimensions, erasing it, and rewriting it indefinitely, simply by using light.

For decades researchers have been exploring how to store data in glass because of its potential to hold information for a long time -- eons -- without applying power. A special type of glass that ...

A special type of glass that changes color in different wavelengths of light, called photochromic glass, holds promise for stable, reusable data storage. Now, researchers have developed a doped ...

Scientists have developed a special type of glass that can store and rewrite 3D patterns, offering a stable and long-lasting way to save information. This breakthrough, published in ACS Energy Letters ...

Chemist S. Donald Stookey of Corning Glass Works explained that the strange “photochromic” glass, which he had invented along with Dr. William H. Armistead, contains submicroscopic crystals of ...
