Scientists have created what they claim is the world's smallest car - the size of
which is a single molecule, making it invisible to the human eye.

A team at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands says the only real ways that it
has any visual similarities to a car is that it has four wheels and a barebones internal framework.

The car is powered by electrical pulses that respond to millivolts of energy. For every halfturn of its wheels,
the car needed another jolt of energy. Even though the actual size of the project may be smaller than the average human eye, it is a massive breakthrough in the field of nanotechnology.

The scientists argue that while one may not see these little speed demons tearing down
 highways anytime soon, the research behind it will likely effect other fields in years to come.

The fact that the molecule was able to take external electrical energy and use it to move
 itself is scientifically significant.

In the most recent experiment , the scientists blasted energy into the molecule by using a
microscope with an atom-sized object directing the energy towards the car. The Dutch product was the first to bring a car into the minisphere.
