The world’s most famous painting has now been created on the world’s
smallest canvas. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have
“painted” the Mona Lisa on a substrate surface approximately 30 microns
in width – or one-third the width of a human hair. The team’s creation,
the “Mini Lisa,” demonstrates a technique that could potentially be
used to achieve nanomanufacturing of devices because the team was able
to vary the surface concentration of molecules on such short-length
scales.
