  1. 1. The article talks about how using made made diamonds can be used for storage by creating defects in the diamond and use those for quantum computers.It is said that these could be used to carry out more calculations per second than there are atoms in the universe.
    2. It talks about how data could be stored for over thirteen billion years. This is done by using laser etching.
    3. It can be used in quantum computers which can help us solve a lot of calculations incredibly fast.
    4. This would dramatically decrease the cost of storage. The article says that it would increase the speed of which computers write data and read it more than a conventional hard drive. This could also free up space in devices allowing more space for other components because the storage would be bigger and a lot smaller.

  2. 1. The article on diamond storage talks about using diamonds for data storage. The article talks about how the tiny imperfections in diamonds can be used to store data. The article says that using the third dimension can store more data.
    2. The crystal storage article talks about using small disk-like pieces of glass. These small pieces of glass can store data for roughly 13.8 billion years or virtually forever at room temperature.
    3. Applications for the diamond storage are storing very lengthy and complex coding, libraries worth of books, history, very big programs, and very large stuff.
    4. With this technology we will be able to store vast amounts of data in very small storages and we will be able to leave behind data on how we lived that will last for billions of years.

  3. 1) The article talks about how diamonds are being considered for highly dense data storage and use in quantum computers. The fact that diamonds have small, microscopic defects on them, similar to CDs and DVDs, where data could be stored on a large scale.
    2) This article talks about crystals and their ability to have large amounts of data stored on them. Crystals also offer data storage that will last practically forever, so information would last through the ages. Data is inscribed on crystal discs using lasers.
    3) As the article discussed, the diamond storage could be used in quantum computers, which make calculations incredibly fast. Other aplications could be large scale data storage and a smaller form of that storage. The goal with data storage is making it smaller and smaller and this could be a method of doing such a thing. Once we achieve this, this can be applied to everything from phones to your desktop.
    4 This kind of technology would likely shrink the amount of space needed to store data, and allow us to use the materials we use now for other things. One problem I see with this is diamonds, which are relatively plentiful, yet instigate wars in countries in Africa due to the demand for trivial products such as wedding rings, this demand would increase with the implementation of diamond and crystal storage. One benefit in the long run that I see is, again, storage being smaller and this data lasting for a long time. The article on crystal storage says that this storage could last billions of years, if not, forever.

  4. 1.Now, in a new study, scientists said these defects in diamonds could help store information, much like how microscopic pits in CDs and DVDs help encode bits of data.The defects usually held electrons instead of carbon atoms, giving the features a negative electrical charge. However, the researchers could give these defects a neutral charge by shining lasers on them. The change from negative to neutral altered how the defects behaved after they absorbed light: They went from fluorescing brightly to staying dark, the researchers said.

    2.Superman memory crystal that has the capacity to save huge amounts of information for up to 13.8 billion years.Using a method of laser etching, researchers at the University of Southampton, in the United Kingdom, archived these documents, along with Isaac Newton's scientific treatise "Opticks," on coin-size pieces of glass.

    3.The researchers did show they could encode data in 3D that is, as stacks of 2D images. It could enhance storage capacity and dramatically by utilizing the third dimension and can use for very big programs or story data for the future.

    4.By saving all the main studies and recover them in the future and they could use it later and this is really big for us and this will be the biggest for now.

  6. 1. This article talks about scientist using diamond for storage and data, and how three dimensional can store even more data. And how 3D information stockpiling method could prompt a precious stone based stockpiling plate that can store 100 times a larger number of information than a run of the mill DVD

    2. About a, "Superman memory gem" that has the ability to spare immense measures of data for up to 13.8 billion years. Alsok about how these coin-estimate bits of glass. These small plates can get by for billions of years at temperatures of 374 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). That can save data and survive very high temperatures.

    3. The analysts showed they could encode information in 3D — that is, as heaps of 2D pictures. One can improve capacity limit significantly by using the third measurement.

    4. With this we could spare a great deal of information in one little
    stockpiling, it will likewise help us recuperate and spare enormous reviews that us people will require later on.

  7. 1. This article about diamond storage, takes about the potential to create defects in artificially grown diamonds to use as storage for quantum computers. They also talk about the other uses for this type of storage, and how scientists were able to discover this possibility by using the negatively and neutrally charged defects.

    2. In this article they talk about using laser etching on glass, to help preserve documents and information that could be stored for virtually forever, if kept at room temperature. It is noted that the capacity of a single glass data disc is 360 terabytes.

    3. With the use of diamond storage it could help lead to mass storage in small receptacles, through its 3D data-storage technique. As they noted, they could use diamond-based storage disks to create discs that are capable of storing 100x the amount of data as a tradition DVD, or use it for a new era of hard drives that use the optimized diamond chips.

    4. By using these types of storage methods, it could easily help lead to mass amounts of storage in numbers that were never thought achievable, with little cost. As these types of storage are put into use for quantum computers, and used for data preservation to help keep the future equipped and informed, it will help lead to less production costs, and more usability.

  8. 1) The article is describes the possibility to create defects in artificial diamonds and put that use as storage for quantum computers.

    2) Laser etching onto glass to store and preserve documents and the like all the way up to 360 terabytes. It is said that the data could be virtually stored forever if kept within room temperatures.

    3) With the usage of this diamond storage method, it could assist with mass storage in even smaller data receptacles. This process can create storage disks with the ability to store of 100x more data than just something simple as a DVD.

    4) This is revolutionary technology, because with some simple production methods and innovation, this could become a modern commodity for people everywhere leading to a data storage revolution. Once thought unreachable numbers will now be achieved.

  9. 1.What does article on diamond storage talk about?(Explain in detail)
    It talks about how we can use diamonds for storage like a DVD. The greatest thing is that it could be stored in a diamond block instead of disks which greatly increases storage capacity. It uses lasers to basically make holes in the diamond to store data in.
    2.What does on crystal storage talk about?( Explain in detail)
    While using a very similar system to the diamond storage. It works with disks of crystal that caan have the potential to store 3600 Terabytes.
    3.What are the potential applications of the technology talked about in diamond storage?(Explain in detail) (Give examples)
    The potential is a larger and more durable storage device. It would be a huge upgrade from what we have now and could make a lot of things smaller. I mean 3,600 Terabyte HARD DRIVE!!!!!! That would be amazing. I could download every game on steam.
    4.What kind of effects is this kind of technology going to have on the modern world? (State your opinion with detail)(Back it up with information from the article)
    It is basically the constant improvement of tech and this will just lower how much storage space we need and maybe give our phones more storage. Like a moto mod that adds like a terabyte of storage to your phone.

  10. The article talks about how we are evolving in technology and some day we are going to advance and become like all of those si-fi movies that we all aspire to be like, these advancements are so important to the process to advancement and should be more capitalized on.

    This article talks about huge advancements in memory and data storage. it is a "Superman Crystal",that can store HUGE amounts of data the should be preserved for later dates and to be reflected back on.

    I believe that this is a very important advancement that will make a new world of technology and maybe even lead to interstellar travel and even further movements that are far beyond what we know now.

    This type of new technology is going to take humanity to much much further places then just more knowledge. new opportunities will be available for the world.

  11. The article about Diamond storage discusses how a team of researchers have been able to use Diamonds as a storage device. Researchers took advantage of little imperfections in diamonds to charge them. They showed that diamonds could be used to encode and store data. It is important because data can be stored very close together, and in the future super dense memory storage could be created with diamonds.

    2. The article about crystals discusses how crystals can be used to store data. It goes over how researchers have used lasers to etch into crystals. These crystals can last thousands of years and are able to survive through difficult physical situations.

    3. Diamond storage could be used as a form of memory storage. It is dense so more data could be fit into smaller amounts of space than before. Using Diamonds storage could become more efficient and compact.

    4. These new advances in storage could increase the power and usefulness of computers. With improved access to data computers will be faster, which is what we saw when SSD’s hit the consumer market. Accessing data is a bottleneck limiting the speed a computer can operate at, so these new technologies would make a big difference in the computer market.

  12. 1. The article explains how diamonds can hold data like a disk basically. This can hold Terra bites in just a small little diamond that is about the size of your finger tip.

    2. The crystal disk or as known as the "Superman Memory Crystal" is basically a tiny little disk that can hold 360TB of storage for billions of years and can survive up to 1,800+ degrees.

    3. Diamond storage can be used to store tons of data. This can have a great impact on data usage.

    4. This can make games, videos, and devices can contain more storage than modern day electronics.

  13. 1. The article goes over how diamonds could be used as data storage in the near future. this could revolutionize the technology industry, allowing for data storage like this could potentially allow for very personal data storage

    2. The article on crystal storage talk about storing extremely large amounts of data on a very small surface area. this could change how people store data, even all the way as to change how phones and computer are made. The thing that is likely going to be the main problem will be the price, cause etching data into a crystal disk seems a bit extravagant for saving a research paper i just finished writing.

    3. One of the suggestions on the application off diamond storage in the article was use in quantum computers, as to help calculate complex problems incredibly faster than before.

    4. These different types of storage could potentially change how people use computers, and especially their size. if all of this data is able to be stored in such a small place, it will likely change the entire way people crate and deal with storing data.

  14. 1. The article talks about a upcoming new technology that has artificial diamonds used as storage devices. There are defects with the diamonds that has extremely small gaps in them that can be charged negatively or neutrally, by using this, the scientists can theoretically store information onto the diamonds. The diamonds would be able to store a ridiculous amount of data.

    2. Scientists found a way to store large amounts of information into coin-sized pieces of glass. These glass coins can keep information stored for billions of years, allowing for the storage of information through the end of our civilization.

    3. The diamonds could be used as storage for data in quantum computers, allowing them to make more calculations in a moment then atoms in the universe.

    4. The effects of these technologies would be a data storage advancement unlike anything we have sean so far, being able to store ridiculous amounts of information basically forever.

  15. 1. The article about diamond storage discussed the new potential storage mechanism that scientists have discovered for computers, quantum computers in particular. By making artificial diamonds (which have plenty of imperfections compared to those dug up from the earth), and by shining a laser onto them, they can record vast amounts of data in a very small amount of space and at a rate that can, to some degree, keep up with a quantum computer.

    2. The second article discusses another new concept of storing data on thin sheets of crystal. By etching the surface with a number of indistinguishable notches (not unlike a CD or DVD today), and will hold them for billions of years at temperatures far hotter than our planet would ever reach. The storage would even be able to survive magnetism, which is a little plus.

    3. Diamond storage would definitely be the only option that could stand up to quantum computing, at least so far. Quantum computing will be calculating extremely quickly, so something that can work just about as quickly would be significantly better than any of our current solutions for information storage.

    4. Since the disks of crystal are said to last "forever" (which is an absurd claim, nothing that man makes can last forever), the disks can be used to store vast amounts of information for vast amounts of time. The potential for this new technology is extremely extensive, especially for storing information in areas with high temperature. The possibilities will need to be explored to fully understand the uses of this new technology.

  16. 1. The article talks about how artificial diamonds can be used as storage devices. There are small gaps in the diamonds that can be charged neutrally or negatively. The technology is revolutionary because it can change data storage and make it easier and more personal.

    2. The article talked about how a giant amount of data can be stored in an extremely small coin. The data can literally be held to the end of human civilization. Although it's a good idea, the coin is very expensive.

    3. The diamonds can be used store data in quantum computers to help them run faster and process calculations. The storage can even lead to interstellar travel, as the article suggests.

    4. The effects of this technology would be a data storage advancement. Being able to store massive amounts of data could lead to better computers, phones, and technology in general. For example, video games could look super realistic and have massive storage.

  17. 1. This article is about how researchers experimented with diamonds whose crystals contained a number of holes where carbon atoms should be. These imperfections are known as nitrogen vacancy centers, because nitrogen atoms are located near the holes, or vacancies. It also talked about how these could be used as storage devices for doodads and gadgets.

    2. This article is about, by using a method of laser etching, researchers at the University of Southampton, in the United Kingdom, archived these documents, along with Isaac Newton's scientific treatise "Opticks," on coin-size pieces of glass.

    3. In the future, there will be ways to read and write data from nano-size bits on diamond crystals.

    4. This this kind of technology, we are coming closer and closer essentially invisible technology. Technology will be so seamlessly integrated into everyone's lives that it will be impossible to go without it. "The storage density of such an optimized diamond chip would then be far greater than [that of] a conventional hard disk drive,"

  18. 1. The diamond storage article talks about the exciting opportunity of using artificially-grown diamonds in quantum computers, which “could carry out more calculations in an instant than there are atoms in the universe.” Although there is the potential to store data in the nitrogen vacancy centers of diamonds, scientists and researchers have no conceivable way to read or write the would-be encoded data. However, it is possible to encode the data in 3D, by having 2D images in stacks!

    2. Scientists have figured out a way to store data for billions of years at even the hottest temperatures on earth -- by storing encoded data on crystals! This is a huge feat in science because documents are able to be stored on crystals for future generations to utilize and read. The crystals used are small and easy to store while they are able to contain vast amounts of data and information.

    3. The major implication of diamond storage is its potential use for utilizing it in quantum computers. These supercomputers would be capable of storing vast amounts of data, as crystal storage currently can. A primary function of a quantum computer, in theory, is its incredible ability to make mass amounts of instantaneous calculations. Although we are a long ways away from making diamond storage a reality, it is a pretty cool concept to think about.

    4. It is a little scary to realize that we are becoming very reliant on new technologies, though I suppose that is a subjective concept. All I can really think about is what would happen if crystals storing our most precious documents were lost or destroyed? Nonetheless, the thought of seeing something as awesome as a quantum computer in my lifetime is breathtaking on its own and something as useful as crystal storage could prove to be our biggest advancement yet in storing data.

  19. 1. The article on diamond storage discusses how research is being done on weather diamonds could be used as a way to store vast amounts of data. They are creating defects in diamonds for potential use in quantum computers.
    2. The article on crystal storage talks about a "Superman memory crystal" that has the ability to save huge amounts of information for around 13 billion years. They use a method of laser etching to achieve this.
    3. It would allow us to store large amounts of data in small 3D type receptacles.
    4. This cutting edge way to store large amounts of data could have a profound effect on many areas. It will be very beneficial in the medical field. Not only on the research side but in the day to day operations in hospitals and Dr.s offices. It will allow them to have a more efficient way to store pt information.

  20. 1. The article mentioned above explains how diamonds can store huge amounts of data just like how CD's and DVDs encode data onto their microscopic pits. It also mentioned the advantages of Encoding data on a diamond as well as its disadvantages such as it's limited to a very concentrated area of a diamond.

    2. The 2nd article mentions the "Superman Memory Crystal". This piece of tech can store up to 360 terabytes of data within a single piece of crystal glass. It's also reported to be stable within 1,000 degrees Celsius, thus it was given the name Superman. It will give future generations an ever lasting device with human's story encrypted into it.

    3. For the diamond storage, I would expect its potential to be limited due to the fact that diamond is scarce so not everyone would have one so they wouldn't really develop it due to demand. But I would say that it can be used by important people with important documents to hide, like government officials for example. It would increase security drastically on the upper levels of the hierarchy.

    4. Just as the articles said, it can provide future generations to come with tons of data containing literally what is happening around the world today. There are also unconventional and unique ways to utilize these piece of technologies. For example, you can store your own memories into one of them to give to your descendants. Another example is to store loads of data about the human race and then spread and scatter them across the universe for aliens to find us instead of us finding them.

  21. 1. The article on diamond storage talks about how diamonds can be the next biggest breakthrough in technology. Scientists have found away that could possibly lead into being able to store 100 times more date than a DVD. This technology will most likely be implemented into quantum computers. Scientists have figured out that some diamonds have nitrogen pockets. These defects leave electron and are negatively charged, but if shined a laser on they change to a neutral charge. With this simple negative to neutral, lasers can read, erase, and write data in a way similar to binary with the help of a computer. There is a major problem though, scientists do not know how to read or write data so small. The smallest they could read is comparable to the DVD.
    2. The crystal storage article talks about laser etched glass storage. This glass has a nickname of Superman memory crystal because of its resiliency and the amount of storage it can hold. They can survive for billions of years undamaged at 374 degrees Fahrenheit and at room temperature basically forever. Researchers have found it can store up to 360 terabytes and that the glass is stable at temperatures at 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit. This new technology uses laser to etch nano-sized code into coin-sized pieces of glass and it can be read with a polarizing lens and an optical microscope. These glass coins can store documents and information in space preserved for future generations.
    3. The potential applications of the technology talked about in the diamond storage article are for huge amounts of data storage. Diamonds have the potential to handle 3D storage, which if better understood can be used with diamond storage. We can store a vast amount of information with just a small diamond. These diamonds will be mostly used by quantum computers because nothing else really requires that much storage. Right now though diamond storage is very setback. Scientists have not figured out yet how to read or write code that is as small as the diamond pockets. The smallest they have gotten is close to the size if DVDs.
    4. This technology will basically make the capability of large quantum computers more capable of handling more data and allow future generations access to this long lasting information. This kind of technology could be used for long periods of time. It could possible time lapse a whole life in minutes. This technology will probably be best used in the scientific exploration world. This technology could lead us into innovations of space technologies and possible bring us to mars. It can be also used to log and map our oceans with some scanning robots equipped with this storage. The possibilities of such a large amount of storage can lead us to futuristic things like hover cars and spaceships.

  22. 1) This article talks about the possibility of using diamonds to encode large amounts of data. It would be done using negatively and neutrally charged ‘pockets’ in the diamonds that only span a couple nanometer. While this kind of technology could lead to a “diamond-based storage disk that can store 100 times more data than a typical DVD”, it is currently useless. This is due to the inability to read or write data into such a small area. The best encoding we have is comparable to the newest DVDs. So, in theory, this is a great advancement; however, it will be useless until technology catches up and we are able to read and write that small.

    2) The second article discussed an amazing piece of glass that is being referred to as a ‘Superman memory crystal’. This is a nod to the memory crystals seen within the Superman movies that stored the knowledge of his ancestors. Using fematosecond lasers, they have been able to inscribe historical documents such as the Magna Carta, King James Bible, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on these discs that can quite literally last forever. While they can survive billions of years at intense temperatures upwards of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, at room temperature, they can last ‘virtually forever’. Furthermore, these discs can hold up to 360 terabytes of data, which is a large jump from our current digital storage.

    3) The potential applications are almost unlimited when it comes to diamond storage. Storage within phones, tablets and computers would skyrocket as we could store a ton of data on a single diamond. It would also be interesting to see how the diamond market fluxes when it comes in high demands for computers. Discs could store even more data, allowing for larger, more graphically intense projects and games. Overall, storage limitation would simply become a joke.

    4) This is going to have positive and negative impacts on the modern world. Positively, the idea of limited storage would become a joke. An average DVD stores approximately 4.7 GB. The diamond storage would be able to store 100 times more, letting it store approximately half a terabyte. Despite allowing larger movies and media to be loaded on them, combining a bunch of these diamonds in a computer could hold larger amounts of data then computers today. However, this comes at a price, literally. Due to basic economics, if computers use these diamonds for data storage, the demand increases, more people begin to make more and they are able to charge more. An increase in the cost of supplies is going to make the price rise and make supply more scarce. So, this could cause an issue as people could soon be priced out of computers. As far as the Superman Crystal goes, this technology is quite significant from a historical perspective as it will keep the important documents throughout history alive so important events in the world will not be forgotten. My only concern is the possibility of storing memes on these crystals. :)

  23. 1. The article discusses the idea of using defects in diamonds to encode bits of data. It would work much like how the grooves in CDs store data that can be read by the computer. The imperfections are known as nitrogen vacancy centers. Carbon atoms are missing in these vacancies leaving behind a negative charge. This charge can be changed to neutral through the use of lasers. These changes seem to be reversible and not affected by exposure to other weak lasers. Researchers thus believe that data can be written on diamonds in the form of neutral and negative charges (think kind of like 1s and 0s). However, they currently have no way to read or write such small encoded data.

    2. Crystal storage is a possible source of data preservation as well as storage. The disk is virtually immune to the aging of time. The data is inscribed using nanostructured dots from a laser. The data is stored in 5D meaning that it uses the dot positioning as well as the orientation and size to encode the data. I don’t believe this data use would be practical for everyday use, but rather for storage of important advances in civilization.

    3. Diamond storage could potentially be used to improve all sorts of computers. It would increase the data storage capacity as well as minimize the space requirement for such large data storage. If the researchers are able to find a way to write in nanobits, they could go even smaller by writing in the depths of the diamonds (3D) rather than just the surface. Since diamonds can be artificially produced, I could see this method potentially replacing modern hard drives or disks. There could also be less life-changing applications of this storage method. Just think, what if you could get a video of your wedding encoded into your wedding ring? How cool would that be!?

    4. I believe that this could fundamentally change the storage methods of modern computing. However, I believe that this will only occur at the manufacturing level. In short, it will not change the lives of the customers. People will still find ways to fill up the massive increase in storage capacity, it will just take longer. It may just become another option check box when people are searching for a computer. HDD, SSD, or Diamond Storage? However, the crystal storage will have massive influence in the way that we think about our society. We can leave records behind that will endure for millions of years. We could create massive databanks of research and breakthroughs in science, medicine, and even art. This could become the structure of future libraries. Instead of books, there are millions of chips of glass ranging in a variety of topics.

  24. 1. The article on diamond storage talks about how small imperfections in diamonds could lead to an incredibly dense form of storage. These imperfections are many times smaller than anything a CD or DVD can hold; however, there's nothing that can read data encoded in such a small area. Furthermore, encoding data in 3 dimensions can significantly increase the amount of storage that can be achieved on storage media.

    2. The article on crystal storage talks about using nanostructured glass to store data in an incredibly compact format that would last for billions of years. This extremely compact format has been achieved by storing data according to the 3D positioning of the nanostructures, as well as their size and orientation.

    3. The potential applications of diamond storage are mainly incredibly dense storage, although researchers have explored using the diamond storage for quantum computers.

    4. This kind of technology will allow us to create computers that are quicker, more compact, and far more advanced. The extremely close proximity of bits to one another will make read/write times far, far faster and the extremely dense nature of these types of storage will allow humans to do calculations that are far more storage-intensive than anything ever done before. I'm excited to see where this leads.

  25. 1. The article talks about how diamonds could possibly be used as storage in quantum computers due to their tiny defects, which could be read similar to the pits in a CD. This storage method could be super dense, and store up to 100x as much data as a normal DVD, and would be much more dense even than a normal hard drive.

    2. The Crystal Storage article talks about storing data on coin-sized crystal disks that could last for billions of years at very high temperatures. Each bit of data would only take up a few nanometers of space on the crystal, meaning that a single one of the crystals would be able to store up to a billion kilobytes of data, or 360 terabytes. The crystal discs can also withstand heat of up to 1832 fahrenheit.

    3. We would have much denser ways of storing data than with typical hard drives. While normal hard drives can hold, on average, around a terabyte of data, one of these new ways of crystal storage could hold up to 360 terabytes in a much smaller package than a hard drive. These would be extremely useful in quantum computing, one of the technologies that could revolutionize computing, as they could be read faster and hold much more data. They could also hold our data much better for future generations, up to billions of years in the future.

    4. This technology would basically make it so we never have to worry about space on any computer ever again, and we could also make sure that our data is preserved for anyone that can read it in the future. These would also advance quantum computers by giving them more data to be read using their extremely fast speeds.

  26. 1. The Diamond Storage article is about the very real possibility of gigantic data storage being facilitated by these tiny crystal structures. Even though the tech is still not fully realized, it is still a real possibility that is coming up decently fast. The article is specifically focusing on diamonds and how they are the crystals that can create the largest amount of storage. The only current problem is that there is not currently the right technology to create the small engraving that would be required for such storage. Even with this however, the possibility is still coming that this kind of storage is entirely possible.
    2. The crystal storage article is meant to show how crystal technology is a large possibility and how we are already using this kind of technology. The diamond article was explaining how diamonds can be used for storage while this article is trying to explain how other artificial crystals are already being used for this sort of tech. Considering the predicted storage using diamond, it is crazy to think about the benefits of this technology.
    3. The kind of programs that are stored in gigantic files could literally be stored in such a small space. It seems like a crazy idea, but large hard drives could literally be replaced by such a tiny disk. Entire books can already be encoded and it could be imagined that similar documents or even lines of code could be stored just as easily. It is an interesting idea for programs and external storage for the future of computer programs and documents.
    4. Computers as well as most other technology is continuously getting smaller and smaller and this would be incredible for this progress. Large amounts of data can already be stored in packages that are the size of a DVD case and yet these articles are proposing a way that similar amounts of data could be stored at a microscopic scale. These proposals are a massive opportunity for computer engineers to really get to work to make more of these technologies a reality. Progress always seems to be going slow but it seems like this technology could jump progress in storage much farther than it could by other means.

  27. 1.)The article basically discussed the fact that it has been found out that synthetic crystals, which have been used for various purposes in the past, have now been shown to be able to have information written, read, and changed using lasers to create microscopic holes that carry the information, much like CDs and DVDs. The main difference, however, is that the holes on the crystals are much smaller, and can actually hold a much greater amount of data on them, while also being more compact and sturdier than any disc made nowadays.
    2.)This article discussed a method of storage rather similar to the first article but instead of synthetic crystals, it mentioned a kind of storage that used coin sized discs which, again similar to CDs/DVDs, have data engraved and readable by lasers onto their surface. These discs can be said to survive up to billions of years when at 374 degrees Fahrenheit, and can even last infinitely in room temperature. These have already been used in their earliest forms, with a copy of the bible copied down onto the disc and presented to UNESCO in early February of 2016.
    3.)One of the primary reasons that the crystal storage was designed was for quantum computers to run practically a near infinite number of calculations in a single second, though other than that it seems to be like it will be used to make a better way to store data in a much more efficient way than just any kind of disc out there.
    4.)Simply put this will make life a whole lot easier for anything that involves computers really. If they can actually achieve the calculation speed that scientists want, that is going to open up a whole other level of possibilities in the field, with a near infinite number of advancements possible. Another thing that is highly interesting is the fact that for the most part, the medium of storage will never waver if done properly, say something on a data crystal is created now, then in theory it can survive practically until the end of time, so we can constantly have information held and ready to be read at any time. It also heavily reminds me of Holocrons from Star Wars, as they are also essentially a form of crystal storage that, when paired with a good number of complicated steps, can hold information that can be used at any time, and with almost no limit to their lifetime.

  28. 1.This article talks about how scientist have been researching defects in diamonds that can possibly store atoms. They discovered nitrogen vacancy in parts of atoms which can store data for quantum computers. The findings suggest that diamonds could encode data in the form of negatively and neutrally charged defects, which lasers can read, write, erase and rewrite, the scientists said.
    “each bit of data could be stored in a spot on the diamond only a few nanometers, or billionths of a meter, wide. This is much smaller than any similar features used in data storage, and could give rise to superdense computer memories,” Dhomkar said.

    2. All the “ancient” documents in history had to be stored but how. Maybe preserving the paper but that wouldn't last a milenilum? How about etching them in crystals, or in scientific terms, 5D storage. “Kazansky and his colleagues first reported their "5D data storage" in 2013 at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics in San Jose, California. The researchers use fematosecond lasers, which are lasers that produce very short pulses, to inscribe information in nanostructured dots that are 5 micrometers apart. These nano-size etchings polarize light that travels through the glass. A combination of a polarizing lens and an optical microscope is all that is needed to "decode" the message.”

    3 the article says it would decrease the storage size by vast amounts. each bit of data could be stored in a spot on the diamond only a few nanometers, or billionths of a meter, wide. This is much smaller than any similar features used in data storage, and could give rise to superdense computer memories. This would lead to super computers that take up not a whole room but half and more of that. It can also encode 3D data stored as 2 D images. I believe that this is a very important advancement that will make a new world of technology and movements that are far beyond what we know now.

    4 the article talks about the effects it would have with the consumer industry and how such small storage of data but would cost some diamonds or crystals;).
    would dramatically decrease the cost of storage. The article says that it would increase the speed of which computers write data and read it more than a conventional hard drive. This could also free up space in devices allowing more space for other components because the storage would be bigger and a lot smaller

  29. 1. The article about the diamond storage was pretty interesting . I learned about he some of these scientist studied these diamonds and realized they have potential for quantum computers. The scientist say these diamonds could help store information. They say they are thinking about using diamonds in the future as a platform for computers. The finding showed that or suggested that could encode data in the form of negatively and neutrally charged affects, which lasers say can read, write, erase, and rewrite. This is pretty interesting article.

    2.The article on Crystal Storage told me that this Crystal Storage or "Superman memory crystal" is data that can hold up to about 13.8 billion years of information in just a little chip. That is pretty crazy to think about. Researchers are starting in team up and make this tiny disc a thing. These disc can survive up to a billion years at temperatures of 374 degrees Fahrenheit, that just amazing.

    3.Diamond storage could potentially be used to give all information to us and our computer to save and use. The Diamond storage would make data storage capacity way bigger than today's storage. The disc is super small so it's not just sometimes you have to carry around millions of information. This disc would be really good for company's that store a lot of information but I feel like it could be stolen very easily.

    4. I would say that there would be a ton of changed companies that would use this storage just because of how much it can hold and how long it lasts. They would proboaly only need to buy one of these and be set. If people put all there information on this disc though I think more people would try to use them and really protect it with their life's. I would do that if I had millions of data on a small disc.

  30. 1. The article talks about how diamonds can be a big breakthrough in storing information. Scientists have discovered a way to be able to store information 100 times more than a DVD. This technology could implemented into quantum computers. Nitrogen pockets in the rocks leave electrons and are negatively charged, but if a laser is pointed to it it creates a neutral charge. With this lasers can erase, write, and read information on diamonds.

    2. This article talks about storing data on crystal disks. One crystal could could store billions of kilobites with each bits of data taking up only a few nanometers of space on the crystal. These crystals would be able to survive at 374 degrees Fahrenheit for billions of years.

    3. Diamond storage's potential is using it in quantum computers. Quantum computers would be capable of storing very large amounts of data like as crystal storage. These computers can make large amounts of very fast calculations.

    4. With crystal storage you can use it as a sort of time capsule and store your memories. You can also store data and send them into space for other civilizations to find and it could store technology, languages, and things about the human race.

  31. 1. Storing data in a small device that can hold a lot of space
    2. Talks about how much data it can store which is cool because we don't need memory drive because we'll have this device everywhere which can store a lot for 13.8 billion years
    3. Making DVD and cds and having it on,then we can have input and have the disk play the data stored onto it.
    4. It's going to have some bad effects, like if people put all their information on these, hackers can just hack into it and then steal all the data that's on the disk. But it also has a great effect for storing data and having space

  32. 1.) The article goes over how using the bigger space of three-dimensional objects, the diamond plates in question, could provide far more storage than any other storage device before, and the imperfections in the diamond plate would be where the information is stored. With this, quantum computers can read information and retrieve far more data than ever before.

    2.) The quartz crystal disks would store trillions of bytes in one disc, as well as being one of the most durable storage devices in history, being able to withstand high temperatures and not naturally decay. Data would only take up nano meters at a time.

    3.) Diamond storage would provide a near-indestructible storage device, with the goal of working in quantum computers, which would calculate the most precise data in fractions of a second. It even comes with the ability to rewrite and/or erase old data.

    4.) This compact, super dense data storage would be able to be distributed worldwide at a moments notice, with the disks being near indestructible as stated earlier. With this type of storage, data can be passed reliably and switching out the disks would be a basically nonexistent task, seeing as both quartz and diamond can survive for a very, very long time.

  34. 1. It talks about how diamonds can be used for storage. The way they want to store the in formation is by putting it in the air pockets of the diamonds. This is very similar to how we store information on dvds by making dips on the disk. The problem however is that it is hard to make these pockets in the diamond.

    2. Crystal storage is a lot more durable then other ways of storage, it can handle very cold and hot temperatures. It is able to last for billions of years.

    3. Diamonds could basically replace hardrives and it would be all the storage you need. It could store large amounts of data and it can be read faster then other forms of storage.

    4. This technology could make the amount of space necessary to retain information a lot smaller. It will make it harder for data to be destroyed if the the storage device is that durable. It would just make our technology a lot faster and last a lot longer.

  37. 1.) The article is talking about how diamonds can be used in computer parts to make more compact storage. The diamonds used can store much more than are used now by using a laser to put data into the diamond.

    2.) It is talking about how data used by crystal storage can be stored for billions of years by engraving everything into crystal.

    3.) The more compact data storage is a huge plus with diamond storage. Things are getting smaller and smaller and doing more and more, this will definitely have use in the coming age of technology, as more things will need to be stored on smaller parts.

    4.) This will definitely be used in modern technology. The diamond storage will be used to have more compact data storage, and the crystal can be used to have a more reliable and timely way to store information, so they could potentially last millions of years.

  39. 1. The article talks about how diamonds can be used to store information using lasers. These diamonds with the ability to hold information are being researched to see if they can be used in quantum computers. The diamonds can also hold up to 100x more data than a dvd.

    2. The article on Crystal Storage talks about how scientist have digitally have stored information on glass called Superman memory crystal. The glass can hold 360 terabytes and can last up to 13.8 billion years. To put that in perspective the biggest SSD is 60 terabytes and at least last 10 years.

    3. The potential applications of technology talked about in the article are these becoming the standard for storage in computers and future quantum computers. Due to the derability of diamonds and crystals they can last longer than a standard SSD and hold more than a SSD. The diamonds and crystals are also smaller then SSDs

    4. I think this will change technology storage as we know it. With more storage available more video games and applications can be created without having to worry about the amount of storage it takes which means more content. This will also stop hard drive and SSD failures as they have a less chance of failing and losing information.

  41. 1. The diamond storage article talked about how large amounts of data can be held in diamonds. Also it talked about scientist creating defects for potential use on computers and uses for other technology things also.

    2. The crystal storage article is quite similar to the diamond storage article it talks about how large amounts of data can be stored in there. using crystals for storage can keep your data for ages. Lastly crystal storage can survive in extreme temperatures such as close to 400 degrees.
    3. The applications for the future with the diamond storage is use in quantum computers also both storage methods can hold up more data than Dvd's and Cd's
    4.This is going to have a positive impact on the world by letting us people keep and preserve all data public or private and keep it for as long as humanly possible.

  44. 1. This article discusses that the idea of using defects in diamonds to encode bits of data, would work much like how the grooves in CD's store data that can be read by the computer. The imperfections are known as nitrogen vacancy centers. Carbon atoms are missing in these vacancies leaving behind a negative charge. This charge can be changed to neutral through the use of lasers. These changes seem to be reversible and not affected by exposure to other weak lasers. Researchers thus believe that data can be written on diamonds in the form of neutral and negative charges (think kind of like 1's and 0's). However, they currently have no way to read or write such small encoded data.

    2. Crystal storage is a possible source of data preservation as well as storage. The disk is virtually immune to the aging of time. The data is inscribed using nano structured dots from a laser. The data is stored in 5-D meaning that it uses the dot positioning as well as the orientation and size to encode the data. I don’t believe this data use would be practical for everyday use, but rather for storage of important advances in civilization.

    3. Diamond storage could potentially be used to improve all sorts of computers. It would increase the data storage capacity as well as minimize the space requirement for such large data storage. If the researchers are able to find a way to write in nano bites, they could go even smaller by writing in the depths of the diamonds (3-D) rather than just the surface. Since diamonds can be artificially produced, I could see this method potentially replacing modern hard drives or disks. There could also be less life-changing applications of this storage method. Just think, what if you could get a video of your wedding encoded into your wedding ring? How cool would that be!?

    4. I believe that this could fundamentally change the storage methods of modern computing. However, I believe that this will only occur at the manufacturing level. In short, it will not change the lives of the customers. People will still find ways to fill up the massive increase in storage capacity, it will just take longer. It may just become another option check box when people are searching for a computer. HDD, SSD, or Diamond Storage? However, the crystal storage will have massive influence in the way that we think about our society. We can leave records behind that will endure for millions of years. We could create massive data banks of research and breakthroughs in science, medicine, and even art. This could become the structure of future libraries. Instead of books, there are millions of chips of glass ranging in a variety of topics.

  46. 1) The Diamond storage article talks about how the diamonds are now artificially made, and the defects in the diamonds can be used to store data much like "how microscopic pits in CDs and DVDs help encode bits of data". The articles also mentions ""We are the first group to demonstrate the possibility of using diamond as a platform for the super dense memory storage", with that technology a person can store immense amount of data into a diamond, and there would be more than decoration and jewelry purpose for the diamonds.

    2) The crystal storage article talks about how a glass disk can store up to 1,000,000,000 kilobytes of data, and how it can withstand up to 1000° Celsius.

    3) As the article talked about "scientists have explored creating defects in diamonds for potential use in quantum computers" it would be used in to quantum computers, or it can be used into gov offices to hold big and classified files.

    4) I think in laptops the hard drive is what takes up the most space, so with this technology saving huge amount in small space would make computing a lot faster and may be making laptop smaller .

  47. 1. The article talks about we can use and make artificial diamonds and use the mas a storage unit. It all has to be micro because the diamonds are super small. As you can see in the article there are pictures saved into the diamonds. It almost looks like it was burned in but its stored in there like a computer file.
    2. This talks about how small glass planes they have made can store a lot of data (kb). This just shows us the small step we made into glass storage. It also talks about how it can withstand heat with its size and how much it can truly store.
    3. We could end up using these diamonds or glass plates as a unit or storage and to keep files in a small thing. At this moment only 1 billion kilobytes could be used for storage. And since it is small the files have to in micro sizes.
    4. This could allow us to make more out of computers and phones because with this small storage unit it could make more room for more goods and just keep it more simple. I say that this tech will help us a lot in the future and help us clean up the amount of materials used in one SSD or HDD.
