Scientists Conceive The Smallest 5-Ringed Molecule, Name It Olympicene
Born out of Graham Richards' doodle, the Olymicene owes its all to this man, who thought that developing 'a molecular structure three hexagonal rings, and two similar rings above it shall be quite fascinating. His fascination got the better of him, as he got a team of chemists from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), University of Warwick, and IBM Research–Zurich working over olympicene, compounding it, and photographing it in exceptional resolution.

The molecule possesses the smallest attainable five-ringed structure (about 1.2 nanometres in width) and demands highly sophisticated apparatus to reveal itself. The scientists at IBM made use of non-contact atomic force microscopy, used previously on other molecule. It has a small cantilever with a nanoscale point at the tip, scanning the in ultrahigh vacuum at a temperature of 5 degree Kelvin, rendering the image back to the scientists. #-Link-Snipped-# has displayed huge potential in fields of electronics and optics, and we look forward to its practical utilization.
