When Pope Benedict XVI visited Jerusalem in May 2009, President of the State of Israel, Shimon Peres, presented him with a very special gift. RBNI scientists worked around the clock to prepare the exhibition piece of the world\u2019s first Nano Bible.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The over 1.2 million letters of the Hebrew Bible were etched into a silicon chip at Technion\u2019s Zisapel Nanoelectronics Center, using a focused beam of energetic gallium ions. When the ions strike the target, they splash some atoms out of it, thereby etching into it. A holy speck of dust, the Nano Bible was mounted on a one-centimeter thick transparent stage and presented within an authentic leather cover of a full-sized Bible.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Nano Bible was created and produced by Prof. Uri Sivan and his doctoral student Ohad Zohar<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
