200 Times Thinner Than Human Hair: The Spaghetti That Could Save Lives

Researchers from the University College London have done what celebrity chefs and Italian nonnas could only dream of: they've made the world's thinnest spaghetti. This culinary-sounding accomplishment, published in Nanoscale Advances, has yielded strands of starch nanofibers that are just 372 nanometers wide, which is invisible to the naked eye and is even smaller than some wavelengths of light. "The world's thinnest spaghetti" sounds silly, but…

World’s thinnest spaghetti won’t please gourmands but may heal wounds

Good luck trying to twirl your fork around the world’s thinnest piece of spaghetti. This nanofiber is about 200 times thinner than a human hair and was created by a team at University College London (UCL). While it won’t be making its way onto the menu of an Italian restaurant anytime soon, this creation was cooked up in a lab because nanofibers have wide applications in medicine and industrial design. The tiny fiber is detailed in a study publi…

The extremely fine strands of material, known as nanofibers, could have important uses in medicine.  Researchers have created the world’s thinnest spaghetti which is about 200 times thinner than a human hair. The pasta is not intended to be a new food but was created because these extremely fine strands of material – called nanofibers – could have a number of important medical uses. Among the uses for the nanofibers are to make bandages to help …
