The brains behind the HDTV revolution want to offer storage technology that is nearly indestructible and can reduce a DVD movie to the size of a human miniature.


  • New storage method inspired by ancient photographic techniques
  • SWS technology preserves data for centuries without power
  • NASA tests confirm the resistance of SWS in extreme conditions

Veteran engineers Clark Johnson and Richard Jay Solomon are tackling a major challenge in data storage: keeping information secure and intact for centuries without using power.

an article about IEEE Spectrum reports how Johnson, a key figure in the development of HDTV, and Solomon have pioneered a new archival technology that fuses elements of ancient photography with modern data needs.
