The attention to detail is exquisite - and the craftsmanship is even more impressive when you appreciate the scale of the endeavour. <\/p>\n
This little Formula 1 car is just 0.028cm across - or to put it another way, less than a third of a millimetre. <\/p>\n
So this tiny little motor could fit into the space of the full-stop at the end of the sentence. <\/p>\n
If that isn't impressive enough, the Vienna Institute of Technology created the 100-layer nano-structure in just four minutes - a huge increase on previous technology. <\/p>\n
Tiny detail: The F1 nano-car was created by the Vienna Institute of Technology in a record-breaking four minutes <\/p>\n
The precision model uses a technique called two-photon lithography, which uses highly-focused light beams to manipulate then harden the resin molecules in exactly the right position. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The technology is still new, and is generally limited right now to solid plastic shapes - but the field is moving forwards <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
