Researchers Print the World’s Smallest Vinyl Record With Nanoscopic Accuracy
There’s very little holiday cheer to be found on this Christmas record printed by DTU Physics at the Technical University of Denmark. That’s because it’s a record so small that it could fit within a single groove of a standard sized copy. This impressive feat of engineering marks the world’s smallest vinyl printed record, and it holds just 25 seconds of “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree.” In a demo showcased by the university’s DTU Physics organization, the Nanofrazor Scholar 3D lithography system presses a 15×15 micrometer record into polymer film. More impressively, the depth of the grooves inscribed on this sliver of a record are just 65 nanometers deep. Scroll to Continue Recommended Articles “I have done lithography for ...

Panasonic Revamps Vintage Stereo With Ability to Play Back Freehand Drawings
Panasonic’s latest experiment boasts the capability of turning simple freehand drawings into complex multimedia art forms. Paradoxically, the story behind this cutting-edge stereo player is partially a tale of reform.

The unit had been relegated to the back of a warehouse, collecting dust before it was finally rediscovered. Super Phonic HE-3000.
