Boba Rhett Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Cornell researchers have built the world's smallest guitar, with strings 100 atoms thick that must be plucked with a laser beam. Still no cure for cancer. The world's smallest guitar is 10 micrometers long -- about the size of a single cell -- with six strings each about 50 nanometers, or 100 atoms, wide. Made by Cornell University researchers from crystalline silicon, it demonstrates a new technology for a new generation of electromechanical devices Linky That's just awesome.

edlib Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Dude! You could totally shred on that! On second thought... how do you plug it in? Have they built a nano-amp stack to go with it? Seems too me that some people have way too much time on thier hands to have access to such high-tech equipment. Still, it's cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 True that. My brother spent hours this summer using his depressurization chamber to puff up marshmallows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I'd personally like to see Jimmy Page plug that sucker into a Fender amp, and play a sold out arena with that bad boy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 ok...well...we can make microscopic guitars, but, alas, still no cure for aids. Or any virus for that matter. I think we need to get our priorities straight. I wonder how many millions of dollars it took to make that little thing? tsk..tsk...tsk. http://www.hamncheez.com/download.phpflash=endoftheworld.swf that is our future.
