Once you make use of a microscope to zoom up to many hundred of thousands times to look at the microscopic world, you’d see microscopic objects lying in the super tiny world reflecting what our world has.
Previously, we’ve seen a microscopic capture, which showed something looks like a toilet bowl in our world. And now another capture by the high-power microscope shows something that looks like a noodle bowl.
This super tiny noodle bowl is actually a nanotube which has been developed by professor Masayuki Nakao and his team of Tokyo University students. The thickness of this nano noodle bowl is about one tenth of a human hair.
The noodle bowl has been created and is claimed to be part of some microscopic structure that will present physical properties like strength greater than steel. And this structure can be applied to make lot of cool stuff in the future. Such as gaming console covers that can survive a 40-foot drop!
