This bowl of noodle won’t fill your stomach because it is only 1-micron 2-micron long x 0.5-micron thick noodles. This world’s smallest Ramen is created by Professor Masayuki Nakao, University of Tokyo, so that one million bowls of nano Ramen can be sold each meal. The purpose of creation is to develop new carbon nanotube-based microcircuit fabrication technology. The soup of this bowl of Ramen is consisted of ethanol and catalyst. Perhaps it’s the art of nano-cooking.

I’m always interested in nanotechnology, but I didn’t have a chance to involve in it. Japanese Takahashi Kaito won the Most Bizarre award at The 49th International Conference on Electron, Ion and Photo Beam Technology and Nanofabrication Bizarre/Beautiful Micrograph Contest.

This photo was titled Chisai Benjo (”Small Toilet”) in magnication of ~15,000X, and I absolutely have no idea where it was located. According to the picture description, this small toilet might be a collective site for ions, electrons or even small molecules. Perhaps it’s a receptor or ligand. This photo is just so exciting.
