#GuinnessWorldRecord broken! 🏆 #TUWien & #Cerabyte create the world's smallest #QRCode pixels at just 49nm – smaller than bacteria! Etched into a thin #ceramic layer, readable only with an electron microscope 🔬
📐 Total size: just 1.98 square micrometers – beating the previous record by 63%
🔬 Pixel size: 49 nanometers – smaller than an average bacterium, invisible to optical microscopes
🧵 👇
💾 Storage density: a single-layer A4-sized film can hold over 2 terabytes of data using this technology
🏺 Material: etched into a thin #ceramic layer – claimed to last indefinitely with no energy or cooling required
🤝 Behind the record: collaboration between TU Wien (Institute of Materials Science) and #Cerabyte – a #startup for ceramic #datastorage
💡 Sweet spot: not the smallest possible code, but the optimal balance of miniaturization, stability & readability
One of my projects (that I actually get paid for in my day job) is a collaboration with #Austrian #startup #Cerabyte who are developing a new #archival #storage #technology using femtosecond lasers to write data onto ceramic glass film.
They just got into the #Guinness Book of #WorldRecords for creating the world's smallest #QRcode (1.98 square micrometres).

德國初創公司Cerabyte聲稱，其創新的基於陶瓷納米層的存儲器將通過降低數據中心存儲TCO 75％來顛覆500億美元的存儲市場。 Cerabyte的路線圖包含TB / cm2密度的“CeraTapes”。 Cerabyte表示，這些新格式將解決密度，性能和訪問範式以及數據中心的成本和可持續性要求。Cerabyte在2023年Storage Developer Conference上發表了一份摘要，其中首次詳細介紹瞭如何使用無機納米層引入CeraMemory。 Cerabyte聲稱，其技術可以以GB / s級速度讀寫數據。此外，Cerabyte
