Are you ready to admire the whole new level of a superfine art - a "Mona Lisa" with the width of 100 microns?
A lot of artworks, such as The Mona Lisa or Van Gogh’s Starry Night are now available on the quantum scale. A masterpiece in the size of a human hair, could you believe it? But it is all real, thanks to scientists from the University of Queensland.
A Whole New Level of Modern Artwork

Physicists in the University of Queensland has been working on investigating the flow of fluids. Unfortunately, sometimes they may be distracted by some unexpected items, for example - a famous work of art. To be honest, being a scientist is such an intense job, and you will understand why they need some relief. Therefore, sometimes, they really need a break, and at this time, Mona Lisa seems to be their new muse.

However, he and his team also have a belief that these images aren't just impressive demonstrations in quantum scale, but also able to open a new era with a brand new material for producing art.
Explained in a public press, he said that they are working on an attempt to understand the world of microscopic quantum, find insights to get to know more about it. In short, the mission was re-creating a quantum-scale version of masterpieces.
Get Ready For The Superfine Art
To achieve that, Neely and his team had to take a rubidium atom gas, cool it at the temperature of -273.15 degrees Celsius, in order to create such thing called a “blob of gaseous quantum matter.”
The masterpiece was chosen is the famous “Mona Lisa,” “Starry Night,” and even their own artworks. All of them were re-created to a smaller size - a size of the blob.
Explained to how these works were done, Neely said, at first the image was stamped on a 100 microns wide area ( equal to the width of our hair). The initial image was just black and white. More colorful shots (of red, blue and green image) were produced and then combined on a computer!
