Robert Chaplin of Vancouver has put together the weirdest, and smallest book in the world.
‘Teeny Ted from Turnip Town’ is a “wild rhyme” about the titular character who wins a turnip contest in the annual country fair – a fable about victory.
The fable was produced on crystalline silicon using a ion beam and equipment from SFU scientists back in 2007.
The end product? A 0.07 mm by .01mm book made of 30-linked micro-tablets. If you’re hoping to get your hands on a copy of the book, don’t hold your breath. There’s only one copy and to make more it costs $20,000 and requires a scanning electron microscope to read.
Currently, the solo copy of the book is locked away in a high-security vault (the ultimate Guinness World Records treatment)
