The world's smallest violin has been created. It can't be seen with the naked eye

Loughborough University
Scientists Create Mini Violin to Show Possibilities of Nanotechnology

0.013x0.035 mm - these are the dimensions of the "world's smallest violin" and can only be seen under a microscope. The instrument, thinner than a human hair, was created by physicists from the British Loughborough University to demonstrate the possibilities of nanolithography.

A team of physicists from the university located 160 km north of London has created a violin smaller than the diameter of a human hair , which ranges from 17 to 180 microns - UPI reminded.

Mini violins only for microscope owners. They show the potential of nanotechnology

Researchers used nanotechnology to build the mini violin. The agency said the instrument was built to demonstrate the capabilities of nanolithography , a technology that allows scientists to build and study objects and structures on a nanoscale.

"While creating the world's smallest violin may seem like all fun and games, much of what we learned along the way actually laid the foundations for the research we are now undertaking, " Professor Kelly Morrison, Dean of Physics at Loughborough University, said in a press release.
