Engineering prowess: UConn Produces ‘The World’s Smallest Basketball’
A group of University of Connecticut engineers and materials science students has created “the world’s smallest basketball,” just in time for the NCAA Tournament.
Researchers from the materials science and engineering department, housed in the new Science 1 building, have used “the best-depth-resolution nanolithography in the world,” to do so.
Department head Bryan Huey said that, after the group determined a new technique worked, we members wanted to do “an eye-catching school spirit-related project,” to celebrate both basketball teams’ participation.
