By Meera Dolasia,
This is amazing. This week in class we learned about atoms and bonding and part of our lessons were the periodic tables. While I was looking through the internet for an awesome current event I found this. The smallest periodic table. On the video it says that a student at United Kingdom's University of Nottingham's Nanotechnology and Nanoscience center cut a hair from his professor's curly hair and put it in a sticky tape that conducts electricity and out it at a machine that 'carved' on the professor's hair the periodic table for a birthday present. To give you an idea of how small it is, it can fit in a sticky note a million times and have still space! The length of the periodic table is 89.67mm and the height is 46.39mm
The reason I chose this event is because it is related to our topic in class and I think that it is really cool because the smallest periodic table i have seen it is in our text book which is almost a A4 paper!This nanotechnology is the coolest thing i have ever since and i sure that professor had the best birthday gift.

Storing information in small spaces will do wonders for computing technologies. Imagine having a computer on the tip of your pen. The only problem is that it might be a little impractical to use.
