Physicists at England’s Loughborough University employed the use of nanotechnology to create what they are touting is “the ...

While the violin may have started as a whimsical demonstration of precision, it now plays a serious role in science. It was ...

The violin is a microscopic image rather than a playable instrument and has not been officially confirmed as the world's ...

No longer just a sarcastic punchline, researchers at Loughborough University have created the world' tiniest violin.

Scientists from Loughborough University in the UK have created the smallest in the world a violin measuring only 35 microns.

The phrase “the world’s smallest violin” is dripping with sarcasm and reserved for disdain, but for some researchers it’s a mark of pride. Thanks to the latest nanotechnology tools, a team at the ...

After the design was etched, the resist was developed by dissolving the exposed underlayer to leave behind a violin-shaped cavity. A thin layer of platinum was then deposited onto the chip ...

You might guess a spider. And a gator. But a snail? That and others make up the 10 deadliest creatures found in Louisiana, ...

the underlayer of the resist was dissolved to leave behind a violin-shaped hole. The university said a thin layer of platinum was then deposited into the chip before a final rinse in acetone ...

Next the machine uses a heated, needle-like tip to "write" very precise patterns on the nanoscale - in this case a violin shape - in a process called thermal scanning probe lithography.
