That's pretty cool. Must be a fiddly job to anchor it into the rest of the system.

> Moreover, current commercial tips that fit this spec are made of either non-biodegradable plastic or metal.

I'm not sure saving at most the few micrograms (the entire mosquito is only a handful of milligrams) of plastic here is really a major factor. Probably there are orders of magnitude more plastic in the tape on the box that they would ship it in.

Also not very clear how it can be 100% finer than current tips!

By being vaporware

vrighter•2mo ago
Maybe it's just the inside diameter that got 100% smaller. So there actually is a physical object that can exist. Which is about a cat hair.
fainpul•2mo ago
Anything that gets 100% smaller is just gone.
vrighter•2mo ago
If it's only the inside diameter that shrunk by 100% then it's only the hole that's gone, not the whole thing. The wall can still be as thick as it wants. If it were the outer diameter that shrunk by 100% then the entire thing would be gone, as you rightly said.

I'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt :D

fainpul•2mo ago
How much can you squeeze through no hole? I have more doubt than you :)
vrighter•2mo ago
I did the math. It's about the exact same as you can squeeze through the thing if it did not physically exist at all.

My conclusion is that whether the inner or the other diameter is the one that shrank only affects aesthetics, not functionality.
