Tiny Flags Salute Nanotechnology

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ITHACA, N.Y., March 30 -- In a salute to nanotechnology, Cornell University researchers have etched the world's smallest, full-color American flag on a silicon chip. The flag is part of an elaborate nanofabrication that includes six full-color flags and 15 White Houses, all etched on the chip. NANOWEIGHT: The chip is mounted in this Lucite paperweight for presentation to the White House.   The size of a postage stamp, the chip has been placed in a Lucite paperweight that will be presented to the White House today in Washington, D.C., by Joshua Wolfe, a Cornell graduate and managing partner...Read full article
