RICHARDSON, Texas -- Imagine singing "Oh, say, can you see" to a flag you can't see.
That's what graduate students at the University of Texas at Dallas had in mind when they created the likeness of an American flag so small it would take more than ten to span the width of a human hair.
While the work of two electrical engineering students has so far been rejected by the Guinness Book of World Records, they hope the process will lead to advances in nanotechnology, a world of creations viewed only through microscopes.
The image of the flag -- complete with all 50 stars and 13 stripes -- is seven microns tall, compared to the 100-micron width of a human hair.

They're making it now ,out of minature particles ,it's not much of a life ,but you can see it under a very strong microscope.
