Speaking of moles....
How many guacs are in a bowl of guacamole?

Ahhh, I heard about this on the radio this morning! Crazy.
I sure hope Masayuki Nakao is putting that knowledge and talent to better uses in something else though...the noodles aren't even edible. :P

Three atoms in a row measures roughly 1 nm. Therefore, at 1,016 nm, it is around 339 atoms in width, assuming it is closed packed. Tiny :)

Haha, hopefully this post will bring out all of Tofugu's closet science geeks. I was going to go on about the real-life applications of nanotubes, Buckyballs, and the like, but I didn't want to bore people to death :D

Oops.. I made tons of mistakes!! Haha WOW
If it is indeed 3 atoms per 1 nm, then it is 3048 atoms in width.. But even that is wrong. 1nm equals roughly 8 atoms, therefore approx. 8128 atoms in width.

jeeesh viet. That means this thing is HUGE. Like, 8128 atoms huge!

How would you know? You have a poor sense with numbers.
you saw my mathematical awesomeness in geometry....7-8 years ago? jebus, we're old.

If you cant eat it... whats the use ><!
If you were actually able to eat it... how would you know you ate it? and how would you eat it?so... whos going to invent the smallest chop sticks eh? =P

Well, technically it should be edible. If it's nothing but carbon, it wouldn't be toxic. But anyway, you really wouldn't want to eat it--it's art!

Small ramen bowls would be really popular for people who need to maximize their living space.... like this lady...
Oh, and let's not forget that some Japanese dude is now marketing ramen in a can. I wonder how many of those "small" ramen bowls will fit in a can; anyone want to do the calculations? I know that I don't....

WOW! That story is amazing! That's freakin' scary! It reminds of that movie, "the strangers" that's coming out. Oh man, I remember I used to always check every room in the house when I came home alone years ago, just in case someone had tried to sneak in. It's crazy though that she's been in there for months! Crazy!

We were going to do a post about it but never quite got around to it.
Crazy, right?

That must have been awkward...finding some random lady living in your crawlspace. -shivers-
The tiny ramen bowl.....it is a novel idea, to say the least, but couldn't he be putting his massive intelligence to better use? Like..........sending ramen into space.

Already been done! In this Tofugu article, I briefly mentioned ramen's space debut, described more fully here.

Here is a cool flash to get some sense of the relative sizes within our unit system
