Smallest Chess Set
From awesome robotics to the world's smallest chess set! Students at Texas Tech have won an award (for novel microelectromechanical systems) for their design of a chess board that measures no more than 435 micrometers by 435 micrometers, while each piece is about 50 micrometers or about half the width of a human hair. Quite amazing!
