by admin on Jan.29, 2012, under Latest Book
A group of Canadian physicists in Simon Fraser University have created the world’s smallest book, measuring only 0.07mm x 0.10mm.The book also has its own International Standard Book Number. But reading it would be a tough task and may cause a lot of strain on your eyes. The book’s title is: Teeny Ted from Turnip Town. Its tiny size is because of the use of focused-gallium-ion beam on 30 slices of polished silicon crystals. Professor Karen Kavanagh at the Simon Fraser University said: It is primarily a work of art – we are using it as just a fun project. In order to read it, you have to have an electron microscope.The focussed ion beam is like drilling with a beam of sand, but instead of sand, you are using gallium ions and you are removing material. We probably could make it smaller. We could make the letters in the order of 10 nanometres, instead of 40. We could certainly entertain other publishers. The two smallest books that are listed in Guinness World Records are: New Testament of the King James Bible measuring 5 by 5mm, created in 2001 and Chekhov’s Chameleon measuring 0.9mm by 0.9mm created in 2002 have been left behind by this new creation. This new book has limited editions and is available at $US 20,000. The tiny work of art is also available in signature-edition copies for £10,000. Source: labnews
