The Technion Nano Bible is now part of the Smithsonian Libraries collection, housed in the Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology at the National Museum of American History in the US. Conceived and created by Prof. Uri Sivan and Dr. Ohad Zohar of the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute at Technion, the Nano Bible is engraved on a gold-plated silicon chip the size of a sugar grain, and was fabricated by engineers in the Micro-Nano Fabrication Unit (MNFU). Its text consists of more than 1.2 million letters carved with a focused beam of gallium ions, and must be magnified 10,000 times to be read.
