Nanoscientists at the University of Nottingham’s Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Centre were able to etch the entire periodic table onto a single human hair using focused ion beams. The result was the complete table, including all known actinides and lanthanides, that was so small that it could have been written on post-it note well over a million times with room to spare.
Check out the process on CubicleBot, where you can also watch them engrave “Merry Christmas” on a snowflake.

Although 12 of the 26 letters of the alphabet don’t have atomic symbols, the periodic table alphabet makes it possible for your budding nerd to spell his name on the wall with each letter of the alphabet at his disposal. The designers even found a place for the unassigned freak letters J, Q & W by making up elements, so needless to say, this set is not a fully accurate representation of the periodic table. You’ll want your little genius to know that before he does a science report on “Jennerium”.
