Throughout history, wars, fires, and natural disasters have wiped out invaluable knowledge—destroying cultural records, scientific discoveries, and historical archives.
This is why preserving knowledge has always been a priority. Today, scientists are turning to DNA—nature’s ultimate storage system. DNA’s remarkable durability is proven by the fact that scientists have extracted DNA recovered from mammoth remains that are up to 1.2 million years old. W
ith this method, researchers can now encode entire libraries into DNA sequences, storing them in tiny glass beads that can survive for over 1,000 years.
What part of our knowledge will you preserve for future generations?
