10mm of Perplexity: World’s Smallest Rubik’s Cube
I don’t care how big or small the thing is, I still won’t be able to solve the damn thing. Evgeniy Grigoriev beat his own previous record of 12mm by creating this homemade fully-functioning 10mm-across Rubik’s Cube, which comfortably earns the honor of smallest Rubik’s Cube in the world. Perhaps even cooler, a 3D-printing company named Shapeways lets you buy a replica of the massive 12mm version which you can actually assemble yourself. We expect the 10mm version will be...

Scientists Create a Ridiculously Tiny 3D World Map
And when we say ridiculously tiny, we mean it. So tiny, in fact, that 1,000 of these 3D maps can fit on a single grain of salt. IBM scientists working in tandem across three countries created this minuscule map. A map so tiny that the tallest mountain in the world is reduced to a few nanometers. The map, measuring 22 by 11 micrometers, is scratched out on a polymer surface. Every 8 nanometers corresponds to 1,000 meters of altitude —... Continue reading
Functioning Pinhole Camera Small Enough to Fit on the Tip of Your Finger
Designed to resemble a lomo camera, this itty-bitty pinhole camera is small enough to fit on the tip of your finger, yet is still capable of taking viewable photos. Upskirt enthusiasts are creaming themselves over this shit. Creator Francesco Capponi uploaded photos of his creation to MAKE’s photo pool on Flickr. Can we get a mini Canon to go along with the lomo?
The World’s Smallest Da Vinci Ornithopter
Renaissance man Leonardo Da Vinci is not only remembered for his amazing art, but his breakthroughs in science and design as well. In fact, the Da Vinci Ornithopter was one of the first devices to prove that birds weren’t the only things that could soar through the sky. And if my science knowledge proves correct, was one of the major influences on the design of airplanes. Despite my possibly incorrect knowledge of historical trivia, almost certainly completely pulled out of... Continue reading
Hooray For A Very Happy Up And Coming New Year Event
Looking for a way to impress all of the females at your New Years party but not tech savvy enough to make your own robot? Well, there will be plenty of champagne at your party, so why not turn those wasted corks into miniature chairs. The girls will think they’re cute and by showing them your creative side — the girls will think you’re cute, too! Listen, dude. You’ve never had a better shot of getting laid on New Years...

Laptop That’s So Small It’s Practically Useless
It’s official – laptops can’t get any smaller. If they did, reading and typing on them would be an impossible task. I thought the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 was small, but the IMOVIO iKIT takes the cake. The cupcake, that is. This thing is unnecessarily too small. It’s dimensions are 95 x 65 x 15.5 mm and it weighs almost half the weight of a Nintendo DS Lite and 20g less than an iPhone, so it’s pretty damn tiny. It... Continue reading
Oops! I Stepped On My Computer!
This computer sure is tiny. Fit-PC Slim is the ultimate mini-rig for anyone who isn’t satisfied with USB drives as a means of transporting data. It’s dimensions are 110 x 100 x 30mm and it packs a mean 500MHz AMD Geode LX800 processor, Ethernet jack, VGA output, WiFi, and a 2.5-inch hard drive option for taking data on the go. Two sizes of memory are available: 256MB or 512MB. Obviously, depending on how much memory and/or hard drive space you... Continue reading
The Space Cube: Apple-sized Computer
To be honest, I haven’t seen a computer smaller than the Space Cube. The computer, about the size of an Apple, is lacking beefy specs but comes equipped with plenty of ports and options to save grace. Inside, you’ll find a 300MHz processor, 64MB of DDR RAM and a 1GB CompactFlash Card. Yes. A fucking gig of storage and enough RAM to open Notepad. Fantastic. Don’t pass it by just yet, though. The Cube comes with a plethora of ports... Continue reading
I Have A Really Small…Lamp
Sometimes size doesn’t matter. But we all know that only men lacking in the trouser snake department say that. For example, don’t buy a Ferrari because you have a tiny penis. Sure, you’ll get a date out of it but, once you drop your pants, that girl will be singing to the whole town about what you aren’t packing. Why not show her something worth talking about that isn’t connected to your body, like the Little Lamp. What makes it... Continue reading
World’s Tiniest Solar Car Crashes Into Bread Crumb
In the future everything is microscopic. We’ve got robots that can get inside your intestines to distribute medicine with their tiny robot hands, but what about solar race cars no bigger than a quarter? Now we’ve got those too. This 33 x 22mm car runs on light, artificial or otherwise. Just chase after it with a flashlight and watch it go. You can grab your own for about $23. Try not to lose sight of it. Link (via)
