Smallest periodic table evah - and it's in Nottingham!

Scientists have created the world's smallest periodic table on a strand of hair at the University of Nottingham.

An imaging microscope and a beam of accelerated ions were used to put the table on the hair, which belonged to chemistry professor Martyn Poliakoff.

Scientists from the university's Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Centre said a million copies of the table could fit on a single post-it note.

Guinness World Records has now confirmed it as the smallest ever made.

Scientists created the complete and up-to-date table of elements by putting the strand inside an ion beam microscope.

I shudder to think what Zilla could do with this technology...he'd be able to fit a million posts into each normal post....

Do you think the hair was delivered by Courier to the Guinness office?
