eh steve Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 http://www.news.cornell.edu/photos/nanomachines/nanogtr.GIF The guitar has six strings, each string about 50 nanometers wide, the width of about 100 atoms. If plucked -- by an atomic force microscope, for example -- the strings would resonate, but at inaudible frequencies. The entire structure is about 10 micrometers long, about the size of a single cell.

Tedster Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 How many of those would fit in the space covered by Paul Bunyan's guitar...on another thread (on the guitar forum, I believe). We're gonna have some rockin' dust mites now... "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60hurts Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 The entire structure is about 10 micrometers long. Not much of a phallic symbol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
