  Seattle WA (SPX) Nov 05, 2019 Modern construction is a precision endeavor. Builders must use components manufactured to meet specific standards - such as beams of a desired composition or rivets of a specific size. The building industry relies on manufacturers to create these components reliably and reproducibly in order to construct secure bridges and sound skyscrapers. Now imagine construction at a smaller scale - less than 1/100th the thickness of a piece of paper. This is the nanoscale. It is the scale at which scientists ... read more |
