(Image credit: University of Southampton) 5D memory crystals store an entire human genome for posterity Genetic code is preserved in fused quartz Indestructible memory crystals can endure heat, force, and cosmic radiation In 2016, progress was made in data storage development as scientists at the University of Southampton successfully developed a 5D memory crystal capable of storing up to 360 terabytes (TB) of data, with a shelf life of nearly 14 billion years. Unlike conventional data storage formats that degrade over time, the technology, dubbed “Superman memory crystal,” holds immense potential for long-term data preservation, opening new avenues in […]
