EXCERPT: Does anybody remember Stuxnet? It was a joint United States-Israeli cyberattack that destroyed machines controlling centrifuges being used to enrich uranium for Iran's nuclear program.

EXCERPT: Today's massive amounts of digital data have caused researchers worldwide to develop data storage technologies, such as DNA-based storage, that are meant to be capable of keeping data for the longest possible time. Now, a new mini disc developed by researchers in the United Kingdom is said to be able to store up to 300 terabytes worth of information for billions of years without suffering any deterioration of its digital contents. Engineers at the Optoelectronics Research Center (ORC) in the University of Southampton devised a revolutionary way to record and retrieve five dimensional (5D) data on a nanostructured glass disc using femtosecond lasers. The new technology has been referred to as the "Superman memory crystal" because of its similarity to the "memory crystals" that Superman used to access information in his Fortress of Solitude in the film series....
