Unzerstörbare 5D-Speicherkristalle speichern das Genom der Menschheit für Milliarden von Jahren | Diese Kristalle können bis zu 360 Terabyte an Daten für Milliarden von Jahren speichern und sind selbst bei extremen Temperaturen beständig gegen Zersetzung.

From the article: 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, even billions of years into the future if science permits.

The method may also be utilized to compile a permanent database of the genomes of threatened plant and animal species.

“The 5D memory crystal opens up possibilities for other researchers to build an everlasting repository of genomic information from which complex organisms like plants and animals might be restored should science in the future allow,” said Peter Kazansky, professor in optoelectronics at the University and the lead on the study.
