Israelis scientists cram 308,428 words from the Bible onto a pinhead
Creating history of sorts, Israeli scientists have managed to create the world's smallest Hebrew Bible. They fit the contents of the book on to a gold-coated silicon chip smaller than a pinhead. Scientists at Technion, Israel's Institute of Technology crammed 308,428 words of the Old Testament on to a 0.5mm square of silicon by etching its surface with particle beams. "The Guinness Book of World Records has a Bible 50 times bigger," said Ohad Zohar, who directed the project.
This tiny Bible was created to make the youth aware of nanoscience and increase their interest in it.
