    The work carried out by a team at the University of Science and Technology of China achieved a new record for storage density in diamonds, at 1.85 terabytes per cubic centimeter.

    Finally a digital storage solution that will last potentially millions of years. Anyone want to guess why it will never see any meaningful adoption?
