1. The world’s smallest horse

Five-year-old “girl thumb” (Thumbelina) weighs just 27 kilograms, is 43 centimeters, is the world’s most small horse!This is Paul Gosling horses and Kaigeshilin couple’s masterpiece, they dwarf the specialized training and breeding stallion.In dwarf species of horse, “her thumb” print “differently than the rest”: she was of the view that this is a “pygmy.”

2. The world’s smallest dog

Charlton, Massachusetts, United States from the “Scientology” (Ducky) is known as the world’s smallest size of the dog.”Scientology” weighs just 0.63 kilograms, is 12 centimeters.

5. The worlds smallest car

Using the parts inside a single molecule, scientists have constructed the world’s smallest car. It has a chassis, axles and a pivoting suspension. The wheels are buckyballs, spheres of pure carbon containing 60 atoms apiece.

It’d be a real squeeze to take it for a spin, however.

The whole car is no more than 4 nanometers across. That’s slightly wider than a strand of DNA. A human hair is about 80,000 nanometers thick.

Other groups have made car-shaped nanoscale objects. But this is the first one that rolls “on four wheels in a direction perpendicular to its axles,” the researchers reported Thursday.

What’s the point? Nanotrucks, of course.

Eventually the researchers want to build tiny trucks that could carry atoms and molecules around in miniature factories.

“We’d eventually like to move objects and do work in a controlled fashion on the molecular scale, and these vehicles are great test beds for that,” said James Tour, a Rice University research who co-led the work. “They’re helping us learn the ground rules.”

The setup will be detailed in an upcoming issue of the journal Nano Letters.

The scientists had to use “scanning tunneling microscopy” to see the thing and prove that it rolls like a car.

“It’s fairly easy to build nanoscale objects that slide around on a surface,” said Tour’s colleague Kevin Kelly. “Proving that we were rolling – not slipping and sliding – was one of the most difficult parts of this project.”

So just how do you make a nanocar go?

At room temperature, strong electrical bonds hold the buckyball wheels tightly against the gold, but heating to about 200 degrees Celsius frees them to roll.

The breakthrough is one of many recent successes in the world of the very small:
