Bible put on a pin-head sized chip
Researchers in Israel say they have succeeded in putting a version of the Bible on a chip smaller than a pinhead.
Its 300,000 words in Hebrew were inscribed on a silicon surface at the Haifa Institute of Technology.
Scientists say the aim of the project is to increase young people's interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
The record for the smallest copy is held by a Bible measuring 2.8x3.4x1cm (1.1x1.3x0.4in), weighing 11.75g (0.4 ounces) and containing 1,514 pages.
The 0.5sq-mm (0.01sq-in) nano-Bible was written on a silicon surface covered with a thin layer of gold (20nanometres thick - 0.0002mm).
It was written using a device called Focused Ion Beam (Fib).
"When we send the particle beam toward a point on the surface, the gold atoms bounce off of this point, thus exposing the silicon layer underneath," Ohad Zohar, one of the project's managers at Technion, said.
"By sending a particle beam towards various points on the substrate, we can etch any pattern of points, especially one that represents text."
The next step for Technion researchers is photographing the Bible and displaying it on a giant wall within the Faculty of Physics.
"In this picture, which will be 7m by 7m (23ft by 23ft), it will be possible to read the entire Bible with the naked eye (the height of each letter will be some 3mm - 0.1in)," Mr Zohar said.
"Near this picture, the original - the nano-Bible itself, which is the size a grain of sugar - will be displayed."]]>

My eyes aren't the worst, but that's half the size of newsprint!If they're going to project this on a wall (the only option that presents itself to my mind as being feasible), by the time you got close enough to see you'd be blocking the projection.]]>

The Microchip Bible is not meant for the eyes of plebeians. Only the most august of the microclergy is able to view its beatitude.

Make it small enough to pass through your bloodstream, and people will pay money to have nanobibles injected into them.

You could probably already insert it into the fatty parts of your body. Chipping is something that's already done.

The perfect size for those angels dancing on the head of a pin. Of course, this bible won't stop a bullet if you carry it in your vest pocket. Of course, the old bibles didn't really, either.
