Think of a future where our distant descendants, perhaps even a new species evolved from humanity, could access and experience the history of our civilization in a way we can barely comprehend today.

This mindblowing idea may turn into a reality soon. A new study suggests that diamond-based storage technology could preserve vast amounts of information for millions of years.

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China have set a new record for diamond storage density, achieving 1.85 terabytes per cubic centimeter.
