Scientists make world’s smallest snowman

Scientists at a university in Canada’s Ontario have made what is believed to be the world's smallest snowman.

Researchers say the tiny snowman is smaller than a human hair. It is three microns tall, which is around 0.003 millimeters.

The snowman can only be seen by an electron microscope. The jolly creature is made from three incredibly tiny silica spheres stacked on top of each other, with arms and a nose made of platinum.

The previous title holder for the world’s smallest snowman was a 10-micron-wide snowman made at London’s National Physical Laboratory.
