Chilled to just billionths of a degree above absolute zero, individual sodium atoms become a single, dense glob, atoms vibrating in lockstep. 亿分之一度的低温时,钠原子就变为一种单独、密集的原子团,此时,钠在“步伐一致地”振动。
It means just that. The formation would have to fly with a precision of a few billionths of a metre. 它就如字面意思一样,要精准到十亿分之一米。
And although a second satellite containing the eyepiece ( a special lens that also uses Fresnel optics, and a camera to record the image) must fly at the focus, the accuracy required is only hundredths of a metre, not billionths. 并且,尽管还必须有一个含有目镜(也是一种运用菲涅尔视觉的特殊透镜,也是一种记录图像的相机)的卫星在焦点上运行,所需要的精准度也只是百分之一米。
When the bottom disk is rotated the material between its holes exerts a tiny gravitational tug on the material between the holes of the top disk, causing it to rotate, albeit only by billionths of a degree. 如果转动下方的圆盘,其空洞之间的物质会对上方圆盘空洞之间的物质施加以引力,导致上方的圆盘发生仅仅几十亿分之一度的细微转动。
That's still a few billionths of the fractional pressure changes your ear can detect. 而这仍然只有你的耳朵能探测到的压力变化的几十亿分之一。
Intel is understood to have gained a US export licence to make chipsets with circuit widths of 90 billionths of a metre or nanometres. 据悉,英特尔已得到了生产电路宽度为90纳米芯片的美国出口许可。
