The memory of the future is already here and surprises as an indestructible quartz crystal storing 360 TB for millions of years

Published:

The increase in interest in technology is linked to a series of ambitious discoveries that seek to make history in different fields. One of them is, for example, the creation of an immortal battery that harnesses radio waves, Bluetooth, and even heat. And, in line with this invention, we have learned about the creation of an indestructible quartz crystal capable of storing a huge amount of data.

As indicated by TechSpot in a recent publication, a group of scientists has managed to create an indestructible 5D memory crystal. Not only that, it is capable of storing 360 TB of data and lasting billions of years, resisting extreme temperatures, cosmic radiation, and strong impacts. Additionally, the crystal stores the complete human genome sequence, which is incredibly impressive considering it is about the size of a common coin.

It will help revive extinct species and store data infinitely

Beyond its capabilities to influence the possibility of reconstructing organisms from the DNA stored in crystals, they are surprising for their capabilities. By using two optical dimensions and three spatial coordinates, it allows for high data density. It also withstands temperatures of up to 1,000ºC and impact forces of 10 tons per square centimeter. Therefore, we are talking about a revolutionary invention for storing information.

Its design, essentially, is inspired by the structure of DNA, which is why it includes diagrams that other researchers can refer to for easier understanding. In this way, its mere creation is already fascinating for the future possibilities it implies, as the creators mention future intelligent beings or artificial intelligence that are capable of deciphering its content. For now, just its mere existence guarantees that it is incredible: just a few centimeters are able to store 360 TB of information.
