I am not just a baseball nerd at heart, I am an overall nerd at heart. Thus, I was completely enchanted when I saw this article at Techcrunch about scientists who are going to race “nanocars” – a single molecule of a few dozen atoms, propelled by the interaction of those atoms when a stream of electrons are fired at them. I would definitely watch this race (which we will be able to do, because they’re going to take a scan of the course after every electron fire, and then animate the progress over a certain period of time). The course is 100 nanometers long, by the way, which is about 0.1% the width of a human hair. Yes, these babies are small.
Next up: quark races!
