Scientists at Loughborough University create ‘world’s smallest violin’
The violin measures 35 microns long and 13 microns wide, with a micron being one millionth of a metre. A human hair typically ranges from 17 to 180 microns in diameter, for comparison.
That’s pretty wild, but:
The phrase “can you hear the world’s smallest violin playing just for you?” is thought to have first appeared on an episode of TV show MAS*H in 1978…
Had no idea lol definitely learned something today.
