As 2008 approaches, this little news item shows how far we have come with technological advancements. But in the real world, who's going to read the nano-Bible? Quick, where are my reading glasses? -- David

===================
ASSIST News reports that researchers in Israel say they have succeeded in putting a version of the Bible on a chip smaller than a pinhead.
According to the BBC, "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 BBC story went on to say that 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).
