Inside your computer, there’s a little chip, and inside this little chip there are microscopic transistors. Long story short: the tinier these transistors, the mightier the machines. And now IBM Researchers have working samples that are a mere seven-nanometers. To give you a point of reference—it would take 10,000 of them to make up a strand of hair. Oh, and that pixel above? It’s way smaller than that, too.

Pete Fecteau spent 40 hours configuring a monumental mosaic of Martin Luther King Jr. made entirely out of Rubik’s Cubes called Dream Big. With a computer generated draft as his blueprint, the determined creator used 4,242 Rubik’s Cubes to construct the 18’ 6” x 9’ 8” piece that, once completed, weighed about half a ton.
Dream Big has marked a turning point in Fecteau’s artistic career, garnering him much attention. Interestingly, as a designer by day, Fecteau never saw the Rubik’s Cube mosaic as a “career move,” it was just a “crazy idea” he could not ignore.
“It’s been a weird project,” he told us. “There were many times where I’d want to give up and then the next day I’d get a call that forced me back on the horse. I kind of feel like it was willing itself to be made. I can’t say I’m surprised by the attention. When I first looked at the finished product I was in as much awe as everyone else. I’m very happy to have this make people think about what’s possible.”oh my fucking god that’s amazing
