Engineers create a mini-microscope – the smallest in the world

Coming straight out of science fiction, here’s a tiny microscope that is roughly about the size of a coin and will easily fit into your pocket, or may be you could fill your pocket with such mini-microscopes. Creation of such a miniature microscope was possible using nanotechnology, you would have already guessed that, and features the same resolving power when compared to a regular powerful optical microscope. This minuscule microscope was developed by engineers at California Institute of Technology (Caltech)

Make yourself invisible with this invisible carpet

Not quite yet! The scientists from Imperial College (London) are attempting to create a material, using nanotechnology, that will be capable of hiding objects in the visible light. Can you imagine that? It’s something no cloaking material has ever been able to achieve so far. According to the scientists, the invisible material will require structure that can channel the light in a specific way. And you guessed it right, that would require structures which are nanometers in size because as
