Researchers from Technion, Israel’s Institute of Technology have created the world’s smallest Hebrew Bible on a gold-coated silicon chip smaller than a pinhead. According to Ohad Zohar, who directed the project, “This is the world’s tiniest Bible, the Guinness Book of World Records has a Bible 50 times bigger.” The etch in the details, the determined scientists concentrated beams of gallium ions on the surface of the chips.  "By sending a particle beam towards various points on the substrate, we can etch any pattern of points, especially one that represents text," said Zohar, a physics doctoral student.
The nano-Bible was developed by the Haifa-based institute as part of an educational programme aimed at increasing interest in nanoscience among teenagers.
The scientists now want to take pictures of the miniature Bible and blow it up to a seven-by-seven metre (yard) poster, which will make it "possible to read the entire Bible with the naked eye," he said.
