World's smallest 3D map of the globe created
Scientists have created a miniature world map which has now been accepted by the Guinness World Record as the world's smallest 3D map.
The perfectly formed 'nano-world' by IBM researchers in Zurich measures a miniscule 22 by 11 micrometres -- 1,000 maps of the size would fit on just one grain of salt.
The map was "written" on a polymer and is composed of 500,000 pixels, each measuring 20 by 2 anometres and was created in just 2 minutes and 23 seconds.
A map that can only be seen through a microscope may seem as useful as a chocolate teapot, but the new technology behind it is set to open a whole new world in industry.
