University of Southampton researchers have created tiny glass discs that are capable of storing up to 360-Teryabytes of five dimensional (5D) digital data. Even more impressive is the fact that each one of these discs can withstand temperatures up to 1,000°C, and can keep data intact for 13.8-billion-years at room temperature. Documents, like the Magna Carta, are recorded using ultra-fast laser, producing extremely short and intense pulses of light. The file is written in three layers of nano-structured dots separated by five micrometers. Continue reading for an up-close image of one of these discs.

Scientists have introduced a new Integrated Tissue and Organ Printing System (ITOP) that can be used to 3D print functional human parts, such as a jaw bone, muscle tissue, and cartilage structures. This system layers the material to build a product in a process called additive manufacturing, using specially designed biomaterials that resemble the structure of actual living tissue.
