World’s Smallest Ramen Bowl

Because science has nothing better to do, talented Japanese scientists have created the world’s smallest Ramen Bowl.  It’s not really ramen, but carbon-based nanotubes.  Still very impressive (and pointless) stuff.

Japanese scientists say they have used cutting-edge technology to create a noodle bowl so small, it can be seen only through a microscope.

The bowl was revealed Thursday after it was entered for a microphotography competition this month.

Mechanical engineering professor Masayuki Nakao said Thursday that he and his students at the University of Tokyo used a carbon-based material to produce a noodle bowl with a diameter of 1/25,000 of an inch.

Science is indeed an art, I guess…  But hey, if something this small can be seen, then there’s hope for me with the ladies. 8-)
