The snow-capped creature, which is only one-fifth the thickness of a hair, was created by scientists at the National Physical Laboratory in London.

The snow-capped creature, which is only one-fifth the thickness of a hair, was created by scientists at the National Physical Laboratory in London.

The smallest snow in the world is only 0.01 mm in size, equal to 1/5 the thickness of a human hair.

The snowman is made up of two tiny tin drops, which are used to make electron microscope work. To put it together, scientists have to use nanotechnology, which is often used to mount microscopic components. Eyes and smiles are created by converging ion beam. The nose is made of platinum.

The owner of this miniature artwork is David Cox, a member of the Quantum Detection team at the National Physical Laboratory.

The National Physics Laboratory is a UK-based high-tech research center and the leading center in the world in developing and applying the most accurate measurement standards.

At a tiny size, the snowman was thinner than normal hair. If you want to look, you have to use a microscope.
