Nano-Art?

Nanotechnology is a new type of field in science and technology and this being so new that scientists do not yet know of the limitations of nanotechnology.
The term Nano-Art is decribed as microscopically small sculptures and works of art which was one of the first uses of nanotechnology.

Nano-Bull -
The Osaka University in Japan was to build a sculpture of a bull by "
10 by 7 micrometers" (one micrometer is one-thousandth of a millimeter) which is about the same size as a red blood cell, making this micro bull is the smallest model of an animal ever created.

IBM Logo-
IBM immediately responded by writing 'IBM' in single atoms, using a copper sheet as a canvas. This showing off between nanotech companies has now got to the point where they are employing artists with no prior scientific training to design ever more complex art works for them.
