          The Smallest Computer In The World The Smallest Computer in the World Fits On a Grain of Rice. Researchers at the University of Michigan just created the world's smallest computer (again). After all, it's unclear if the IBM computer even counts as an actual microcomputer. The IBM device lost all its programming and data as soon as it turns off, unlike the Michigan Micro Mote, which retained its programming even when it wasn’t externally powered. “It’s more of a matter of opinion whether they have the minimum functionality required,” said David Blaauw, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at University of Michigan who helped develop the University of Michigan's newest tiny device. If the IBM machine constituted a computer, then University of Michigan would work to gain back their title: their latest micro device measures 0.3mm per side (1/10th the size of IBM’s computer), and is smaller than a grain of rice. The de...

                Largest Animal In The World Among animals, the largest species are all marine mammals, specifically whales. The blue whale is believed to be the largest animal to have ever lived. The largest land animal classification is also dominated by mammals, with the African bush elephant being the largest of these. Blue whales give birth to the largest newborns in the world. Their calves can weigh up to a thousand kilograms and match the size of a small car. But the blue whale lives in the water and the largest animal who lives on the land side is Elephants. Elephants, specifically African bush elephants, are the second largest animals in the world and the largest on land. It is believed that at one time there were more than 200,000 blue whales. There are only about 10,000 blue whales now -- they've been on the endangered list since the mid-1960s -- and the population is not expected to reco...
