Originally released in October last year, Solitaired is both a game and a teaching platform, and its developers have partnered with a number of organizations to highlight notable historical and cultural figures on the game’s decks.

At the time, Feynman offered $1,000 to the first person who could reduce the page of a book to 1/25,000 linear scale, essentially readable only by an electron microscope.
Feynman finally was forced to pay up a quarter-century later by a graduate student at Stanford University, Thomas H. Newman, who shrunk the first page of Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities. But it wasn t until 1991 when the theory of nanotechnology was propelled into existence by Japanese researcher Sumi Iijima, working with NEC Corp., with the discovery of the nanotube a carbon-based filler that offers exceptional performance improvements in electrical condu
