8/21/2006: Close-up of the world's sharpest man-made item
axlrosen finds it here and I think it was boing boingd as well. Looks huge to us in this image, but this is a tungsten needle: so sharp that the individual round globe-like things you see there are individual tungsten atoms. From the article linked at the source, Quote:
It all seems very impressive, but I don't have a good physics background. All I know is, the next time somebody calls me "needle dick", I'll have a really good comeback: tungsten needle dick. (Oh please, a dick joke is always appropriate. I'm uncouth, or something.) |
