British scientists have stored DNA information for an entire human on a crystal, which could be used to bring back humanity if we become extinct.The team from the University of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) used lasers to inscribe the data on a 5D crystal,

The entire human genome – all 3 billion or so base pairs – has been stored on a tiny, 5D memory crystal built to last for billions of years. In theory, should humans go extinct, this little chip could provide a blueprint to bring us back – providing the technology to do so has materialized by then.

Scientists in the United Kingdom have stored the entire human genome on a “5D memory crystal,” in the hope that it could be used in the future as a blueprint to bring humanity back from extinction.

Scientists say the crystal, which is hidden in a cave in Hallstatt, Austria, won't degrade for billions of years - and can bring back humans if we were to go exctinct

University of Southampton scientists have stored the full human genome on a 5D memory crystal—a revolutionary data storage format that can survive for billions of years.

Researchers have stored the entire human genome on a 5D memory crystal, a data storage breakthrough that can last billions of years. A team at the University of Southampton envisions the crystal serving as a blueprint to revive humanity from extinction,
