Loughborough Physicists Craft Microscopic Violin Smaller Than Human Hair

The creation process involved coating a small chip with two layers of resist, etching the violin design using a heated, needle-like tip, and depositing a thin layer of platinum. Professor Kelly Morrison highlighted that the insights gained have laid the groundwork for ongoing research into material behaviors at the nanoscale.
Loughborough University physicists have created a 35-micron-long violin, smaller than a human hair, using nanotechnology to advance research in computing and energy harvesting.
