Scientists Build World's Most Sensitive Scale 68
Adrian Bachtold at the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology in Barcelona has created the world's most sensitive scale. The new subatomic weight scale can measure masses as tiny as one yoctogram, less than the mass of a proton. From the article: "Bachtold hopes the scales could be used to distinguish different elements in chemical samples, which might differ only by a few protons. They might also diagnose health conditions by identifying proton-scale differences in molecular mass that are markers of disease."
Misread title. (Score:5, Funny)
I first read it as massive, so I thought it was about your mom. Then I re read it as smaller and realized they were making a scale for your penis.
Will this sensitive scale cry? (Score:2, Funny)
If you put this sensitive scale in front of a chick-flick, will it start crying when the lead character breaks up with her boyfriend or when she nurses a lost kitten back to health?
