British scientists have preserved a human's DNA in a crystal, which could be used to restore humanity in the event we become extinct.

The team from the University of Southampton used lasers to etch data into a 5D crystal that can last for billions of years. Unlike other forms, it does not disintegrate over time.

In a statement, the university described how the crystal, which is equivalent to quartz, is "one of the most chemically and thermally resistant materials on Earth." It can withstand great forces, extreme temperatures and "exposure to chemk radiation".

Superfast lasers etched the human genome data representing all the DNA instructions found in a cell.

The team hopes to record the genomes of endangered plants and animals in the future. But there is a catch.

At present it is not yet possible to artificially create humans, plants and animals using only genetic information.

The crystal has a visual key to show details about the data it stores and how it could be used by future intelligence, including artificial intelligence, to create a human.

The key shows the universal elements (hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen), the four bases of the DNA molecule (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine) and their molecular structure, their placement in the DNA chain structure, and how genes are positioned on a chromosome that can be placed in a cell.

The crystal is stored in the Human Memory archive, a special time capsule in a salt cave in Hallstatt, Austria.

5D crystals can store up to 360 terabytes of information and the format was awarded by Guinness World Records in 2014 as the most resistant material.
