I'm not sure if this is officially the world's smallest snowman but, at just three microns tall, I think I'll take their word for it. That cute little smile was carved using a focused ion beam.

Got company coming over for Christmas? Just tell everyone you already decorated for the holidays, and give them the gift of an electron microscope.
