Details

The smallest known reproduction of the Bible was made by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientists Pawan Sinha, Pamela R. Lipson and Keith R. Kluender in 2001. Using microlithography, a process similar to that used in the manufacture of computer microchips, they reprinted the full New Testament text of the King James Version of the Bible in 24k gold on a crystalline silicon tablet measuring just 5 mm x 5 mm (0.196 x 0.196 in) .
