SCIENTISTS STORE HUMAN DNA ON 5D CRYSTAL

https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/1836669268655542460 

https://nasa-knowledge-ark.blogspot.com/

Researchers at the University of Southampton have used lasers to inscribe a full human genome on a 5D crystal capable of lasting billions of years. The ultra-durable crystal could help preserve DNA data for future use in restoring extinct species, though recreating complex organisms like humans isn't yet possible. Stored in Austria's Memory of Mankind archive, the crystal can hold up to 360 terabytes of data.
