Human genome stored for 'eternity' in 5D memory crystal
Briefly

Researchers at the University of Southampton have inscribed the human genome in a 5D memory crystal, ensuring long-term protection of human genomic data against bit rot.
The durability of the 5D memory crystal, which can withstand extreme temperatures and cosmic radiation, promises to preserve our genetic blueprint for potentially billions of years.
Kazansky notes the advancements in optical storage have drastically reduced write times, from six months to just one hour for data inscription into these crystals.
5D memory crystals, developed at the University of Southampton, can store 360 terabytes of data, ensuring a legacy that transcends the extinction of humanity.
