Data Card that can last for 100 millions year

Researcher claim to have developed a new storage device,Features of device are:

1. It is water proof
2. Can tolerate extreme temperatures and hostile conditions like fires and tsunami 'forever' without degrading

Japanese multinational conglomerate Hitachihas unveiled the chip,and claimed that:

1. It is resistant to many chemicals and unaffected by radio waves
2. Can be exposed directly to high temperature flames and heated to 1,000 degrees Celsius for at least two hours without being damaged
3. The chip is also waterproof

The company's new technology stores data in binary form by creating dots inside a thin sheet of quartz glass, which can be read with an ordinary optical microscope.

Provided a computer with the know-how to understand that binary is available - simple enough to programme, no matter how advanced computers become - the data will always be readable.

"We believe data will survive unless this hard glass is broken," said senior researcher Takao Watanabe.

The material currently has four layers of dots, which can hold 40 megabytes per square inch, approximately the density on a music CD, researchers said, adding they believe including more layers should not be a problem.

The company has not decided when to put the chip to practical use but researchers said they could start with storage services for government agencies, museums and religious organisations.
