NANO-BIBLE

2 comments - Post a comment



The entire content of the bible almost like 3,00,000 words in Hebrew were inscribed on a silicon surface.This was done by the scientist in order to increase the young people's interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology.The nano-bible was written on a silicon surface covered with a thin layer of gold(20 nanometer thick-0.0002mm).This was created by using a bible that measures 2.8x3.4x1cm (1.1x1.3x0.4in)and also weighs 11.75g (0.4 ounces) and contains 1,514 pages.
The nano-bible was written using a device called Focused Ion Beam (Fib).It was written by sending a particle beam towards a point on the surface which makes the gold atoms bounce off at that point,and exposes the silicon layer underneath.The text was inscribed on that by again sending a particle beam towards various points on the substrate.This entire nano-bible which measures around 7m by 7m can be read with the naked eye.The scientists are now in a plan to photograph the bible and display it on a giant wall.
