Glacier in particular seems to attract the speculative fascination. Do people not realise the name is not in jest, it really is done with graphene-doped room-temperature ice crystals and laser interference lithography?
- Twirrim 10y agoWe used to joke among ourselves that actually it was done using vinyl records. Have you seen how many vinyl records you can fit into a single rack? Added bonus, 9 out of 10 customers actually preferred the feel of their data when it is restored.
