Cristalul de sticlă care poate păstra cunoștințele omenirii mii de ani

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking storage device using 5D glass crystals, capable of preserving data for millennia. This technology addresses the long-term storage crisis, as current media have short lifespans. The University of Southampton's team successfully recorded the entire human genome on a small glass crystal, which can withstand extreme conditions. Microsoft’s Project Silica has demonstrated that borosilicate glass can store nearly 2 terabytes of data at a lower cost, making it a viable option for long-term data preservation. This method is particularly secure against traditional hacking techniques, making it suitable for national archives and critical data storage.
