10 Microscopic Gadgets For A Better Tomorrow
#9 Micro Book
Technion's Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute in Israel has copied the entire founding document of the United States alongside Israel's own Declaration of Independence on a chip that's just .04 square millimeters. Technion scientists engraved 20 nanometers deep into a gold-plated surface by shooting a focused beam of gallium ions. It was given to President Obama this spring.
#10 Micro Map
IBM scientists have created a nano-scale 3D map that's only 11 x 22 microns, or less than half the thickness of a human hair. On this map, Mt. Everest is only 70 nanometers tall compared to more than 29,000 feet in real life. Scientists used a heated 500-nanometer silicon tip to etch the relief map into the polymer surface. It was recently recognized by the Guinness World Records as the smallest 3D map created.
