Nanoscale Pac-Man

Elisabetta Comini of the University of Brescia in Italy created this Pac-Man image. It's a copper oxide cluster measuring 3.5 microns across. This piece was unveiled at an art competition at the 2010 convention of the Materials Research Society in San Francisco.

Looks more like Jack Skellington!

I agree with White Collar! Those micron teeth add a level of enjoyable creepiness to the piece.

I'm a bit creeped out by the teeth...very Jack Skellington, like White Collar said. Very neat, just creepy at the same time!

That's the distinctive leer of the Italian male.
