Human genome stored inside near-indestructible '5D memory crystal' that could survive to the end of the universe

British scientists preserve human genome on 5D memory crystal which can last for millions of years

British scientists have preserved the complete human genome on a 5D memory crystal, which they believe will provide a blueprint to bring humanity back from extinction thousands of years in future. The team from the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) stated that the data storage format that can last for millions of years can also save the genomes of endangered species of plants and animals.
