Smallest electrical wire
*** ABOVE CREDIT MUST BE PRINTED IN FULL *** Worlds smallest electrical wire. Coloured Atomic Force Micrograph (AFM) tapping-mode image of a carbon nanotube wire (blue) on platinum electrodes (yellow). The nanotube is 1. 5 nanometres across, a mere 10 atoms wide. It was made by firing a laser at a mixture of carbon, nickel and cobalt to make spherical carbon fullerene molecules join together to form a tube. Besides the potential to miniaturise electronic components, the nanotubes small size gives it special properties that could be used to make entirely new devices. Magnification: x120, 000 at 5x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible world of nanotechnology. Titled "Smallest Electrical Wire" it features a coloured Atomic Force Micrograph (AFM) image of a carbon nanotube wire on platinum electrodes. The vibrant blue nanotube, measuring a mere 1.5 nanometres across and only 10 atoms wide, is an engineering marvel. To create this extraordinary wire, scientists employed laser technology to fuse carbon fullerene molecules together into a tube-like structure. Beyond its potential for miniaturizing electronic components, the nanotube's diminutive size grants it unique properties that could revolutionize device manufacturing. At magnification levels of x120,000 and presented in a compact 5x7cm format, this print from Science Photo Library offers viewers an up-close glimpse into the intricate world of organic chemistry and compound formation. It highlights the remarkable achievements made possible by harnessing atomic force microscopy techniques. While not explicitly mentioning commercial use or any specific company, this photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and scientific progress in the field of nanoengineering. With its striking colors and detailed composition, it invites us to ponder the limitless possibilities unlocked by manipulating matter at such minuscule scales.
