Street Fighter 5 trailer teases Charlie's return, Capcom Cup 2015 pool mounds to $500,000
You might recognize pieces of the above Street Fighter 5 trailer from earlier this week, but unless you were watching the Capcom Cup last night, you haven't seen the teased return of Charlie that starts around the 1:20 mark. Charlie threw his first punch in Street Fighter Alpha and shares military pal Guile's affection for hurling Sonic Booms (and rocking ridiculous hair styles). As reported by Shoryuken, Capcom Cup contestants received more good news beyond Street Fighter 5's roster addition – through a partnership with Sony, the Capcom Pro Tour and Capcom Cup will return next year with a prize pool worth $500,000. Sounds like a pretty great excuse to us to keep practicing combos. If you're looking for more than just a trailer of Street Fighter 5, last night's stage demo bouts between Ryu and Chun-Li show a few uninterrupted rounds of the wall-breaking PS4 and PC exclusive fighter, as well as the debut of Chun-Li's line of noodle bowl headwear.

Japanese scientists craft planet's smallest ramen bowl
Now that just looks extra scrumptious, doesn't it? What you're peering at above is believed to be the world's tiniest ramen bowl, created by a clever bunch of scientists from the University of Tokyo. Reportedly, Masayuki Nakao and his students "used a carbon-based material to produce a noodle bowl with a diameter 1 / 25,000 of an inch in a project aimed at developing nanotube-processing technology." In other words, they carved a bowl out of nanotubes, which can now only be viewed through a microscope. Best of all, they didn't stop with just the dinnerware, as they managed to insert a number of inedible noodles to round things off -- each of which measured "one-12,500th of an inch in length with a thickness of one-1.25 millionth of an inch." Don't get any bright ideas here, McDonald's, ditching SuperSize was bad enough.
