Graphene nanotubes lost in drawer
Thu Sep 12, 2024 6:39 am
Researchers at the Institute for Tiny Engineering have spent years working with extremely small chains of graphene molecules, forming them into tiny tubes called 'nanotubes', but now they've lost them.
The aim of the research was to create a really long but microscopically thin tube that they could use to connect two things, say, an ear and a mouth. Or a cat and a kitchen. During a clear-out in advance of the annual Tiny Balls (a series of events taking place this month in which engineers and scientists get to let their hair down, their flippers out and give their gills a good scrub. That might be dolphins, not engineers, no wait, dolphins don't have gills. Oh well, never mind.)
The loss of the nanotubes is a terrific blow to science and will set the Institute back years, but no-one will notice so its ok.

Carefully slice 8kg of onions then discard once tearful, reserving the tears. Down a pint of fish stock, whisk aggressively until tired then discard along with the onions. Brown the pan on a high heat until completely ruined, then discard along with the stock and the onions. Order a takeout and serve garnished with the reserved tears.
