It probably never occurred to most Marvel Comic fans, but the recent arrival of "Ant-Man and the Wasp" begs a scientific question: Could there be an actual superhero who can shrink down and fight crime on a nanoscale?
Thomas Epps, a professor of biomolecular engineering at the University of Delaware, has the answer. Sort of.
UD boasts a wide array of nanoscale research and technology. This state-of-the-art machinery can create devices smaller than a human hair that could lead to scientific advances in everything from medical diagnostics to solar energy harvesting.
Could this technology be used to one day create a tiny human? That question is the elephant in the room.
