Twenty-four years ago, physics professor Harold Craighead and then-doctoral student Dustin Carr, Ph.D. ’00, created the world’s smallest guitar using cutting-edge technology in what was then the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility.
They’re at it again at the center – now known as the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (CNF), in Duffield Hall. A team led by staff photolithographer Ed Camacho has created what is thought to be the world’s smallest rendition of Cornell’s iconic McGraw Tower – complete with its 161 interior steps, two sets of stairs and 21 bells.

PEORIA, Ill. When Black Band Distillery opened in Peoria’s Warehouse District in 2020, owner Chris Ober didn’t expect a pandemic to hit.
When COVID-19 did hit, Ober started producing hand sanitizer since it was so hard to find at the beginning stages of the pandemic.
“We knew there was a great need to do so,” said Ober. “Through a lot of diligent work, we found the supplies needed to produce [hand sanitizer].
“We produced several thousand gallons.”
Since the distillery was not able to be open due to mitigations, Ober said they could help and be of service to the community.
