Click to play videoNew Delhi: A 3D image of Obama, smaller than a grain of salt was created by Professor John Hart of the University of Michigan. Professor Hart isn't just another Obama fan.
He's trying to bring Nanotechnology - the science of the very, very small - to the level of the common man.
"I think a demonstration like making a Nano-bama, which is to be honest pretty basic for us to make in the lab considering the types of things we're making out of nanotechnology, is a cool way to connect what we do in the lab and work very hard on. We connect it to a topic of popular interest and of course Obama's pretty popular these days," says Professor Hart.
Each Nano-Bama contains 150 million tiny slivers of carbon, much thinner than a human hair. Yet they are surprisingly strong.
"With really good quality nanotubes, we could make fibers that are stronger than steel, the strongest material ever made," he says.
That's a fitting tribute to a man who is now the strongest, most powerful man in the world.
