University of Southampton scientists have stored the full human genome on a 5D memory crystal—a revolutionary data storage format that can survive for billions of years.

Researchers have encoded the entire human genome onto a “ 5D memory crystal ” in the off chance our species finds itself needing to walk back from the brink of extinction. But even if the plan ultimately fails,

Scientists have stored the entire human genome on a five-dimensional crystal that’s capable of digitally storing up to 360 terabytes of information and is built to survive for billions of years. The tech could be used to create an enduring record of human,

Researchers have stored the entire human genome on a 5D memory crystal, a data storage breakthrough that can last billions of years. A team at the University of Southampton envisions the crystal serving as a blueprint to revive humanity from extinction,
