It is wonderful when hearty souls, toiling in the fields of theoretical and practical physics, grasp a handle that pulls the curtain back on the mysteries of our universe through dedicated effort and perseverance.
or
a flea circus....

Either way, should be fun!

What force powers rotation at such a speed?

Careful with those theories! if they’re not good, reality rears its head and embarasses you!

That’s nothing.
Mitt Romney can rotate fundamental positions way faster than this.

“One of the advantages of getting a nanoparticle suspended and rotating in a vacuum like this is that very precise measurements can be made, unaffected by the standard variations in air flow and temperature.”

Lol, I have a flea circus that is a lot more fun to watch than what they have. I’ll sell it for only 50 million.

... a tiny rotor that rotates at speeds of up to 60 billion revolutions a minute – the fastest-spinning human-made rotor in history, and 100,000 times faster than your average dental drill. If a dental drill spun at 600,000 RPM, it would be out the bottom of your jaw, or top of your head, before the dentist could say "open wide."

By my rule-of-thumb calculation, an object 320nm long being rotated would have a path whose outer circumference is about 1 micrometer.
So 60B rotations / sec would be 60M meters per second (at the outer edge).
Or around 37000 miles per second.
That’s about 20% light speed.
Perhaps others here can double-check my math.
