World's smallest X-mas card
世界最小圣诞贺卡出炉

Scientists have produced what they believe is the world's smallest Christmas card, BBC reported. It was created by nanotechnologists at the University of Glasgow. It is so small that it could fit on to the surface of a postage stamp 8,276 times. The image, which measures 200x290 micro-meters, features a Christmas tree, and is etched on a tiny piece of glass. The applications are critical in the future development of the digital economy and could eventually find their way into cameras, televisions and computer screens to reduce manufacturing costs.(See photo)

据英国广播公司报道，科学家制作出了号称世界上最小的圣诞贺卡。这张圣诞贺卡是由英国格拉斯哥大学的纳米技术科学家制作的，它是如此之小，其面积仅为200x290微米，只相当于一张普通邮票的8276分之一。贺卡上圣诞树的图案是在一小块玻璃上蚀刻而成的。纳米技术的运用对数码经济的未来发展至关重要，并将最终运用在照相机、电视和电脑屏幕上，以便降低生产成本。(见图)
