Writing text under size 7 6?

That's a paddlin'.

[Romosome]

Tiniest text ever created at Stanford.

The author of the article doesn't seem too fond of it either.

I didn't see this until now but it's kind of amazing that a techradar.com author referse to fucking Standford Researchers as "wacky kids"

I mean, he sounds like he is trying to belittle them.  That blows my mind.

I thought "Stupid and Useless" was a bigger tip-off.

Of course, it isn't until the end of the article that he mentions:

The nanotechnology gimmick apparently has some real world applications - including storing more digital information in less space.

"The assumption has been that the ultimate limit is when one atom represents one bit, and then there's no more room—in other words, that it's impossible to scale down below the level of atoms," says Hari Manoharan, Assistant Professor of Physics.

"But in this experiment we've stored some 35 bits per electron to encode each letter. And we write the letters so small that the bits that comprise them are subatomic in size. So one bit per atom is no longer the limit for information density."

Bit of a hack, this fellow.
