What you're talking about sounds similar to the Planck length to me. I'm not a string theorist, but my understanding is it is well defined in normal 4D spacetime (where Planck time would be the time it takes a photon to travel one Planck length). Planck length is based only on universal constants (Planck's constant, speed of light, and the gravitational constant), and so any "thing" smaller than that is unphysical.

I think the interesting question is how do we get continuous experiences, measurements, and observations from a spacetime that is fundamentally quantized.

It might be Yellow Chincherinchee, Ornithogalum dubium. I used iNaturalist with your photo to suggest and they look pretty similar. You can also try using Seek (an app that uses your camera to identify plants and animals) and with more angles you might get a better result.

 

If this isn't just corporate hype, this could be great for making smaller batteries, hopefully less resource intensive.
