Electrochemists in the United States were able to create a syringe capable of injecting attoliter-sized quantities of fluid. An attoliter is a billion billionth of a liter, a volume of fluid equal to a cube 100 nm on a side. The pipette pictured is 150-nm on a side, shown injecting fluid into a single cell, without damaging the cell or causing it to change its behavior appreciably. Its inventors see applications for this attosyringe in cellular biology research.
