How Microsoft Is Storing Data in Solid Glass

Microsoft’s Project Silica is an experimental archival data storage technology that encodes digital information into solid fused silica glass using ultra fast laser pulses. Instead of magnetic disks or semiconductor memory, the system writes microscopic three dimensional voxel structures within the material. These structures alter light polarization and can be decoded using advanced imaging and machine learning algorithms.Unlike traditional storage media, glass is resistant to heat, water, radiation, and electromagnetic interference. Microsoft researchers suggest that data stored in this format could remain stable for thousands of years under normal conditions, making it suitable for long term archival use rather than daily computing tasks.Project Silica is being explored as a potential cloud archival solution, complementing existing storage infrastructure rather than replacing it. As global data generation continues to accelerate, durable low maintenance storage systems may become critical components of digital preservation strategy.This video analyzes how the technology works, what problems it aims to solve, and the realistic challenges that remain before large scale adoption.
