"The image shows the tiniest representation of the new US president yet. Each face is built from roughly 150 million carbon nanotubes. As the artist/mechanical engineer that made them, John Hart, puts it "that's about how many Americans voted on November 4". Although, of course, only about 53% of those nanotubes actually voted Obama. For more images, and to see how they are made visit Hart's site.
"Hart's creation is the latest in a tradition of nanoscale engineers making tiny structures for artistic or self-promotional reasons. Read our previous blog post rounding up some of the best, from adverts placed on bees' knees to a nanoguitar you can actually play."
That's fascinating!
