CanadaPlus, to futurology in Full scan of 1 cubic millimeter of brain tissue took 1.4 petabytes of data, equivalent to 14,000 4K movies — Google's AI experts assist researchers

This is also pretty lightly compressed, though. If you’re trying to do mind uploads you can probably shave off orders of magnitude pretty easily, since in silico neurons don’t need any of the functional structures as long as they act the same way.

A lot of people don’t realise, we can and did. In the 50’s. It completely works on small creatures.

Unfortunately, like you said, cooling is really hard to do quickly in bulk, and no cute tricks have been forthcoming quite yet.

Also, it’s China, so higher than normal chance they made it the fuck up. Research ethics is a bit of a problem in the region.

That being said, it’s not a surprising result. Usually small pieces of tissue can be frozen without problem.

CanadaPlus, to futurology in 'Warp drives' may actually be possible someday, new study suggests

The paper. It doesn’t actually help for any practical space exploration future or present, but it’s interesting and seems accessibly written so far.

Figure 13 is nice if you just want to visualise it.
