According to The Australian, this is the product of the experts at the Australian National University. With this new device, scientists can observe the smallest organisms, including those smaller than viruses.

Dr Ben Buchler of the Australian National University said that in order to make this powerful microscope, the team used a laser to cool a super-nanowire down to -265 degrees Celsius. This is an extraordinary effort. The nanowires are 500 times thinner than human hair.

This nanotechnology creates a powerful microscope that can measure the weight of one of the major viruses. This large virus is 100 billion times lighter than the average mosquito.

Experts from the Australian National University are also confident that the new microscope will help them see microscopic matter between molecules. However, this modern device is very small, so the very slight vibration can also affect its performance.
