This bowl of ramen is guaranteed not to satisfy any appetites. Masayuki Nakao, from the University of Tokyo, has developed the worlds smallest bowl of ramen. The 1-micron (1/1000mm or 1/100th the width of a piece of human hair) wide bowl is filled with lots of 20-nanometer (1/50,000mm) thick noodles.
Professor Nakao used a metal particle beam to create the bowl from silicone, and mixed ethanol and a catalyst inside the bowl to create the noodles. He told reporters that it was very hard to keep the bowl from overflowing. Via Pink Tentacle
