With a space less than half a size of grain of sugar, Israeli scientists successfully inscribed the entire Hebrew text of the Jewish bible by blasting tiny particles called Gallium ions. The nanotechnology experts at Technion Institute in Haifa say that the text measures less than 0.5 square millimeter (0.01 square inch) surface. They chose the Jewish Bible to highlight how vast quantities of information can be stored in minimum amount of space.
"It took us about an hour to etch the 300,000 words of the Bible
onto a tiny silicon surface," Ohad Zohar, the university's scientific adviser
for educational programs, told the Associated Press.
