The smallest violin in the world believed to have been created by scientists

British physicists claim that they have created the “smallest violin in the world” – and, from its appearance, they could get a bow for their invention of the masterpiece.

Bunch Brainy at Loughborough University used nanotechnology to build the adolescence instrument, which is not larger than a dust pepper and can only be seen with microscope.

Made of platinum, mini-instrument measures 35 microns, a thousand long one meter and 13 large microns. Loughborough explained on its website that it is small enough to fit within a man’s hair width.

Scientists created a violin, which is only a microscopic image and is not movable, as a test of the new system of school nanolitics, which allows them to build and study structures in nanosc The way.

The project refers to the expression “Can you listen to the smallest violin in the world playing for you?” Which makes fun of people who are extremely dramatic.

“Although the creation of the smallest violin in the world may seem like fun and games, many of what we have learned in the process have actually laid the foundations for the research we are now undertaking,” said Kelly Morrison, professor of experimental physics at its website.

“Our nanoliography system allows us to design experiments that investigate materials in different ways – using light, magnetism or electricity – and observe their answers. After understanding how the materials can be brought, we can begin to apply what you know.”

The violin was made from a nanofrazor, a nano-sulptural machine that uses a technique where a hot needle-like type writes models. First, a chip was lined with a gel -like material and then placed under the car, effectively burning the violin pattern on the surface.

Once the pattern developed, the gel underlain was dissolved and a violin -shaped hole remained. A thin layer of platinum was then inserted into the chip, which then rinsed with acetone to remove any remaining particles.

It took the prototype three hours to create. However, the last version of the team lasted several months.

“Depending on the way you engage with technology, there are people who always seek to have something that goes faster, better, more efficiently,” Morrison said in a YouTube video.

“This requires … Finding a way to reduce.”
