Scientists from the German Institute für Experimentalphysik and French Centre d'Elaboration de Matériaux et d'Etudes Structurales informed that they had just recently created a wheel. You might say, that it’s not a discovery because the wheel had been invented centuries ago. But this wheel was created in nano scale model. Their diameter is 0.8 nanometer, and they are connected with the axle, which consists of only four carbon atoms. Earlier this invention couldn’t move, but now the scientists were able to make it move. The move was possible because the scientists with the help of a high resolution microscopes, by different microscope brands such as Celestron Microscopes, LOMO Microscopes were able to slightly push the wheels.
