Scientists at the University of Southampton have stored the human genome on a 5D memory crystal, a revolutionary data storage format that can last billions of years.
The crystal, capable of holding 360 terabytes, offers durability against extreme temperatures, cosmic radiation, and physical impacts.
Researchers hope this breakthrough will allow future generations to revive extinct species by preserving genomic data.
Stored in Austria’s Memory of Mankind archive, the crystal’s visual key provides information on how to use the data in the future.
