Each individual strand is too narrow to be clearly captured by any form of visible light camera or microscope (Beatrice Britton/Adam Clancy) -

Researchers have created the world’s thinnest spaghetti which is about 200 times thinner than a human hair.

The pasta is not intended to be a new food but was created because these extremely fine strands of material – called nanofibers – could have a number of important medical uses.
