The World’s Smallest Snowman Stands at Just Under Three Microns Tall
A truly teeny tiny snowman has been created using three 0.9 micron silica spheres, a face carved with an ion beam, and with arms and a nose made of platinum. The image was created at Western University in Ontario, Canada using electron beam lithography.
