Researchers from University College London have created the world's thinnest spaghetti, with strands measuring just 372 nanometers wide, showcasing innovative nanofiber technology.
In medicine, these starch nanofibers have potential applications, such as in bandages for wound healing, keeping bacteria out while allowing moisture through.
The method used to create these nanofibers involves electrospinning, which draws a flour and liquid mixture through tiny metal holes to form ultra-thin threads.
Co-author Professor Gareth Williams humorously notes the impracticality of using this incredibly thin spaghetti for culinary purposes, asserting it would overcook almost instantly.
