The Sharpest Object Ever Made

ultracool writes "Forget the phrase 'sharp as a tack.' Now, thanks to new University of Alberta research, the popular expression might become, 'sharp as a single atom tip formed by chemically assisted spatially controlled field evaporation.' Maybe it doesn't roll off the tongue as easily, but considering the researchers have created the sharpest object ever made, it would be accurate."

Re:Aleut harpooner

[Anonymous Coward]

Dmitri "Raven" Ravinoff -- An Aleut native who works as a mercenary. His preferred weapons are glass knives - undetectable by security systems and reputed to be molecule-thin at the edges - and throwing spears. He travels on a motorcycle whose sidecar has been replaced with a hydrogen bomb that will automatically detonate if his heart stops beating.

That's retarded.

glass has a monomolecular edge. the tip of this is just an element, hence monoatomic. it would get quite dull quite instantly though, as some other posters have pointed out. unless you're cutting something very soft very slowly. something like spicy salsa.
