BYU engineers 3D-printed microscopic Latter-day Saint temples for the school's 150th anniversary.
Professor Greg Nordin and student Callum Galloway led the project, creating 150 replicas.
The temples, smaller than a grain of rice, fit on a 12-by-19 millimeter microchip.
PROVO — Engineers at BYU have been honing their 3D printing skills — their latest project is creating microscopic temples to commemorate the school's 150th anniversary.
While 3D-printed replicas of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are nothing new, these are unique in that they are all smaller than a grain of rice.
Electrical engineering professor Greg Nordin and student Callum Galloway spearheaded the project, in which they made 150 replicas of
