The World's Smallest Bull
By Satoshi Kawata
Scientists in Japan built this diminutive bull with a process called two-photon photo polymerization, in which a pair of finely focused lasers can mold a plastic resin into a range of forms. Unveiled in 2001, the bull is 7 micrometers tall, roughly the size of a single red blood cell. Ten years later, the statue remains the smallest 3D sculpture ever created.
