5D MEMORY CRYSTAL CAN PRESERVE HUMAN GENOME FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS Scientists at the University of Southampton have developed a 5D memory crystal capable of storing an entire human genome for billions of years. Unlike traditional storage, which degrades over time, this crystal can withstand extreme heat, radiation, and impact. Beyond preserving human DNA, it could store genetic data from endangered species, potentially aiding in future species revival. Housed in the Memory of Mankind archive in Austria, this breakthrough ensures a lasting record of life on Earth. Source: Brighter Side of News
