Physicists Create “The World’s Smallest Violin” Using Nanotechnology

Physicists at Loughborough University in England have built what they believe to be the world’s smallest violin — so small that it could sit within a width of a human hair.

Made from platinum and measuring 35 microns (one-millionth of a meter) long and 13 microns wide, the violin was designed to demonstrate the capabilities of Loughborough’s new nanolithography system, a multimillion-pound setup used for advanced research.
