Glass is the future of data storage, as proven by Microsoft in 2016 when they showed the world how could the DNA strands be used to store data. It serves as the biological counterpart to the traditional flash- or disk-based storage.
But as Microsoft has tested, they found that glass storage is more practical. Somewhat like the traditional DVD recording media, they also used infrared layers to distort the glass but placed it inside the glass and away from the open air. According to Microsoft, the data recorded is read by lasers and decoded by the machine learning as light reflects off the glass.
