Making things very small? He cannot, sadly! (8)
I believe the answer is:
nanotech
'making things very small?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'he cannot sadly' is the wordplay.
'sadly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'he'+'cannot'='hecannot'
'hecannot' is an anagram of 'NANOTECH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for nanotech that I've seen is " Very little science".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
