IBM developed the world’s smallest 3D map

According to reports, IBM scientists have recently developed a 3D map of the world’s smallest. In the end how small? Living in a salt can contain 1,000 such maps. 3D map of the surface based on polymer size 22 X 11 micron, containing 500 000 pixels, each pixel area of 20 square nanometer. 1000 meters above sea level in life, said the high conversion ratio of the map is only 8 nm, this means, the world’s highest peak Mount Everest in the map was only 64 nm high.
Materials Science reports that the top journals Advanced Materials, IBM scientists have completed the main props of this initiative is very small but sharp nanometer silicon tip (silicon tip), than the life of a very sharp pencil point 10 times smaller still.
Scientists at the nanoscale silicon tip near the polymer surface is heated before it, under the action of the atomic force will be excluded polymer in the polymer material to sketch 3D graphics, the whole process takes 23 seconds 2. IBM scientists Urs Duerig said, to create the 3D map of a major breakthrough is that the polymer material is removed, rather than adding material to them.
In addition to the 3D map, the scientists also use technology to create a 3D version of the Matterhorn (4478 m), height of only 25nm, the ratio to 1:50 million.
The technology is another major significance for the future electronics, chip technology, medical, life sciences and nano-optoelectronics research in the field has opened a new page.
