This is a step towards nano-trucks they say... nano-eighteen wheelers and even nano-fork-lifts, I wonder???? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Pardon my ignorance, especially if it was mentioned in the linked article, but what would you use such a thing for? Or is it one of these "because we can" things?
Reminds me of the old story about the thinnest glass rod ever made. A competing team of scientists borrowed it to study, and returned it with a hole drilled through, lengthwise.

Now I know whwre that British 'midget' who got up behind the dashes of MG's to hook things up on the assembly line went!
Reminds me of the last conversation I had about the smallest car.
A local guy who brought his 1960 Vespa 400 Coupe to a show here and told everyone that it was the smallest car to be imported into the US ever, and that it was of no relation to Vespa scooters, because it was made in France.
I started to mention that the Isetta was 1/2 of an inch shorter (officially,) but he was being a total jerk to everyone. I also decided that not knowing that the car was indeed a product of the same Vespa company that produced scooters (just in partnership with a French-localized subsidiary which was required to produce the cars there) made him look dumb. It's okay not to know strange details about a car one owns, but to come off like an authority and be dead-wrong is just funny.
Oh yeah, he had replaced the car's air cooled two-stroke engine with a Geo 3-cylinder plant! How he didn't make the connection between the motorscooter company and the car with two stroke/air-cooled engine both with the same name!?!?!
Cute little car, but man was that guy dumb and brash.

What instrument is used to look at such as small thing to prove what they made is what they say they made and looks like what they say it looks like?
