It's finally spring in Minneapolis, and I don't expect even loyal readers will spend much time indoors today. So I suggest a quick read: Scientists at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver have made the world's smallest book. Engraved on a 30 silicon pages, it's 8,000 times smaller than you could see with the naked eye. The book, Teeny Ted from Turnip Town, is sadly unavailable in more conventional bindings, so I can't tell you what the critics are saying.
Details on how to make a microscopic silicon book are here, in case your gallium ionizer is free this weekend and you're feeling creative.--David E
