Worlds Smallest Map
The world really is a small place. Well this map of the world is!
Scientists in Zurich have created the world’s smallest 3D map - of the world which has now been officially recognised by the Guinness World Record organisation.
The map measures 22 by 11 micrometers. Or, to add some scale, 1,000 maps would fit on just one grain of salt. IBM researchers used a new micro-small (or nano) particle etching machine to create the 3D map. A nanoscale tip - 100,000 times smaller than a sharpened pencil ,was uses to carve out the world.
Before you say this as much use as a nano sized world map, the new technology used will open the door for nano-sized computer chips and circuitry, ultra-absorbent customized medicines, enhanced optics and much more.

Magnetic Maps Finish on World Wall Maps
We thought we would tell you about our wonderful magnetic maps. Supplied as a finish to all our maps the magnetic wall map is a unique map in itself.
We have a great range of maps of the world. All of our maps of the world are available to purchase online in our maps of the world online shop. The maps of the world range are based on our famous physical maps of the world & political maps of the world.
The advantages of having a magnetic map is the physical interaction you have with them. When combined with our skittle magnets the map becomes a great reference point by easily moving the markers to your chosen destination. The magnetic maps are the perfect map if you want to map out travel points, plan routes or pinpoint past destinations over time.
Magnetic maps are supplied gloss laminated, mounted on a metal backing and framed in a stylish brushed aluminium frame, with a 16mm edging. This option is our premium finish and is increasingly becoming more popular with our customers for use as an operational tool.
Ready to be hung on the wall of any office or branch, your map will be supplied with a hanging kit.
Please remember all our world wall maps can be supplied as magnetic maps. Simply chose magnetic finish on the product page.

UK Parliamentary Constituency Boundary Wall Map
The Boundary Commission yesterday published proposals to cut the number of English constituencies from 533 to 502. Forecasters say Labour and the Lib Dems are set to make heavy losses due to the cuts.
The changes to constituency boundaries will also see the number of MPs cut from 650 to 600.
Labour is likely to suffer the biggest losses after changes to the political map, but proportionately the Liberal Democrats look set to be hit hardest.
Nick Clegg, Vince Cable, Chris Huhne and Tim Farron are among senior Liberal Democrats who will see their seats dramatically change for the worse. The Twickenham constituency held by Mr Cable, the Business Secretary, since 1997, will be split, pathing the way for a showdown with Tory Zac Goldsmith.
The Mirror says the Lib Dems face an election wipeout under boundary changes announced today.
Leader Ed Miliband said: “We have serious concerns about the Government’s decision. It’s gerrymandering.” David Cameron’s Witney seat in Oxfordshire is unchanged.
