That's fascinating! Creating something 200 times thinner than a human hair is quite an achievement. It really highlights the incredible progress being made in nanotechnology and materials science. It makes perfect sense that these incredibly thin nanofibers would have a wide range of applications in fields like medicine and industry. Imagine the possibilities for targeted drug delivery or creating incredibly strong yet lightweight materials.
The world's thinnest spaghetti, about 200 times thinner than a human hair, has been created by a UCL-led research team. The spaghetti is not intended to be a new food but was created because of the wide-ranging uses that extremely thin strands of material, called nanofibers, have in medicine and industry.
