Data reading can be done with equipment using high-resolution microscopic imaging techniques or electron beam microscopy.

They do not say how to write this tape and to read it you need an extraordinarily costly device at extraordinarily slow rate 🤨.

Write with laser or particle beam. Read with microscope or electron microscope.

Read will be taking a snapshot of the area with the electron beam so it will depend on the speed of said microscope. The idea isn’t for ultra fast write and read access. It’s long term storage with low volume. Currently they’re using tape for long term storage but the longevity is likely less than that of ceramic.
