Last year, Playboy Magazine announced that it would stop printing fully-nude pictures because, hey, the internet exists. But, one of the outfits that caused Playboy to abandon such imagery is now launching a competing publication in the real world. R...
There's been a backlash against digitally manipulated photos in the media, and frequently for good reasons: heavily edited shots set unrealistic expectations at best, and are outright misleading at worst. And National Geographic is no exception to th...
Internet porn just claimed another casualty. Penthouse has announced that it's dropping its print magazine after 51 years of publication -- from an unspecified point in the future, you'll have to go online to get those articles and racy photos (okay,...
For many young men growing up in the nineties and early noughties, FHM and Zoo were the very definition of "lad culture." Bedroom walls across Britain used to be filled with blu-tacked pages of scantily-clad models, but with sales dwindling, the ti...

While there’s no shrink ray in existence as of yet, scientists are hard at work at making magazines available for us, just in case we ever get down to the micrometer scale. In fact, a laboratory in Switzerland has managed to print an image so small that you could fit over 2,000 of them onto a single grain of salt. If they were to do this, the title of this article would be called “4,000 pandas on a grain of salt.”
The scientists from IBM Research carved a miniscule 11×14-micrometer image of a recent cover of National Geographic KIDS Magazine onto a polymer. The process they used is akin to 3D printing, but on a smaller scale. They used a heatable silicon tip that was 100,000 times smaller than the tip of a pencil point to chisel the image. While it certainly took years of development to create such a machine, the actual magazine cover was output in less than two minutes.
Be sure to watch the video below to see how the team created this incredibly tiny magazine cover:
It’s definitely interesting to see how small things can get. At least we’ll have stuff to read if we ever get shrunk down to this size.
