| The world's smallest submarine, no bigger than a single molecule, is ready and waiting for launch
The world's smallest submarine, no bigger than a single molecule, is ready and waiting for launch. The minuscule sub, comprising a total of just 244 atoms, has a variety of potential applications and promises to revolutionise the world of underwater travel.
The nano-sub, as its developers call it, is so small (no more than billionths of a metre across, or a tiny fraction of the width of a human hair) it has to be built and monitored by special high-resolution microscopes.
