Micro-artist David Lindon from England created a tiny sculpture called The Yellow Smiley Face, breaking his own world record for the smallest sculpture. The record was previously held after he made a piece called Red Lego Brick
It was measured by scientists at Bournemouth University
Ever saw the tiniest sculpture to ever exist? Well, you can’t! The sculpture is so small that it is not visible to the human eye, and its size can only be compared to a human blood cell.

The Yellow Smiley Face sits on a first-class stamp of the late Queen Elizabeth II, forming a single microdot on her eye. It can be compared to a particle of talcum powder, a human blood cell, mold spores, bacteria and even a fog droplet! It measures 0.01104mm by 0.01233mm.
He got help from scientists at Bournemouth University to measure and verify the results using their high-end microscopes. Lindon is also known for creating miniature creatures for his solo exhibition, the World’s Smallest Zoo — consisting of different animals contained in the eye of a needle. Lindon claimed that he works at midnight, when there is lesser traffic and few chances of disturbances. He added that the process of creating his miniature sculptures includes slowing his heartbeat down, thus ensuring that sudden movements do not ruin his work.
The Queen Elizabeth II stamp which has the Yellow Smiley Face, is now mounted on a glass tower and kept inside a sealed glass box at an undisclosed location.
This man is breaking bad
In Italy, man gets called an escape king for breaking out of jail for the 4th time in 16 years

No one noticed when this man snatched a file from the prison workshop, using it to break the jail cell bars. This Hollywood-style jailbreak was executed by Toma Taulant, a 41-year-old Albanian man, who escaped the Opera maximum security prison in Milan.
This mastermind timed everything perfectly — he escaped right when the guards were changing their shifts. While all of this was impressive, it was Taulant’s reputation as a prison break expert that dubbed him as the escape king. This was his fourth escape in 16 years.

Frogs at Chernobyl have begun to change colour as a bizarre animal mutation. One discovery of this involves the Eastern tree frog (Hyla orientalis), which is bright lime-green in colour. These frogs have turned black in colour as an evolutionary adaptation.
