A tetrahedron has a triangular base with sides all equal to 2, and each of its three lateral faces are squares. A smaller tetrahedron is placed within the larger one so that its base is parallel to the base of the larger tetrahedron and its vertices touch the midpoints of the lateral faces of the larger tetrahedron. Calculate the volume of this smaller tetrahedron.
