Friends,
No, this is not about my brother-in-law, although he is a great guy.
:-) Scientists in Israel have inscribed the entire Hebrew text of the Jewish Bible (equivalent to our OT) onto a tiny nanochip about the size of a grain of sugar, measuring about .o1 square inch. This text was chosen to show how a large amount of information could be stored in such a tiny amount of space. It took about an hour to etch the 300,000 words onto the tiny silicon surface. The technology can be used to store vast amounts of data and is being considered for medical, as well as other scientific, practical advances. The previous smallest known copy of the Bible measured roughly 1x1x.5 inches, weighed .4 ounces and contained over 1500 pages.
