Researchers led by Peter Kazansky of the University of Southampton in the UK, in collaboration with Helixworks Technologies, have successfully laser-inscribed the human genome onto a 5D memory crystal. The crystal, made of silica glass, can store up to 360 terabytes of data on a 5-inch square and is durable enough to withstand cosmic radiation and forces of up to 10 tons per square inch.
