I know there's something in the Bible about camels passing through the eye of a needle (although this may have been a gateway into Jerusalem rather than a physical needle). At the other end of sharp, pointy things, researchers in Israel say they have put the entire Bible on a microchip smaller than a pinhead. 300,000 Hebrew words were inscribed on the chip using a particle beam. The next step is to photograph the Bible and display it on a giant wall at the Haifa Institute of Technology. And why are they doing this? Why to increase young people's interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology -although it may work the other way as well: what better way to get people interested in the Bible then by "packaging" it differently?
