About Us
Preserving What Matters
Over 30 years of pioneering research, one mission — make ultra-long-life data storage commercially available to the world.
Our Story
From Lab to Legacy
5D Memory Crystal technology was pioneered by Prof. Peter Kazansky, a world-leading scientist whose decades of research at the University of Southampton transformed our understanding of light–matter interaction at the nanoscale.
Today, led by technology entrepreneur Ilya Kazansky, our team of scientists, engineers and product specialists combines optical nano-technology with advances in machine learning and AI to deliver the most durable storage medium ever created — manufactured in Switzerland to the highest standards.
What Drives Us
Our Values
Permanence
We build for timescales measured in billions of years. Every decision — from material selection to encoding method — is optimised for absolute longevity.
Security
Your data is handled in air-gapped Swiss facilities with full chain of custody. No third-party access, no internet exposure, tamper-evident delivery.
Precision
Femtosecond laser pulses write data at the nanoscale with bit-for-bit verification. Swiss-made engineering ensures consistent quality across every crystal.
Sustainability
Once written, a 5D Crystal requires zero energy to maintain. No cooling, no migration, no cloud infrastructure — the greenest archival medium in existence.
Our Journey
Key Milestones
Research Begins
Prof. Peter Kazansky begins pioneering research into femtosecond laser nanostructuring of fused quartz at the University of Southampton.
Guinness World Record
The 5D optical storage method achieves the Guinness World Record for the most durable digital storage medium.
Cultural Firsts
The Magna Carta and Universal Declaration of Human Rights are encoded into 5D Memory Crystal for permanent preservation.
Into Space
A 5D Memory Crystal is launched aboard the SpaceX Falcon Heavy, becoming the first permanent data storage in orbit.
Human Genome Preserved
The complete human genome is encoded into a single 5D Memory Crystal, a landmark in biological data preservation.
Commercially Available
5D Memory Crystal becomes commercially available for early adopters — organisations and individuals seeking eternal data preservation.
