Researchers at the University of Southampton in the UK successfully stored the entirety of the human genome sequence onto an indestructible 5D optical memory crystal no bigger than a penny. The indestructibility claims are no joke since the discs can withstand temperatures up to 1,000°C, cosmic radiation, and even direct impact forces of 10 tons per cm2.

        Nothing wrong with plastics (bcs the term is just do huge), it’s just how we manage it and why tf are we still using fossil fuels for it.

        I want to live in a world with materials plastics we can live with.
