The World's Smallest Writing

(January 29, 2009) Stanford physicists have written and stored the University's initials, "S" and "U," in patterns of electron waves, creating the world's smallest writing. The researchers have reclaimed the bragging rights for smallest writing, first claimed by Stanford in 1985 and lost to IBM in 1990.

Open your ignorant eyes. Then learn to spell. Almost all of you all sound jealous.

How can this be applicated into real life.

It's not meant to be used to write things very tinily. It's just one step closer to smaller encryption. The very computer you're typing this on is possible because adventurous scientists like these try new things.
