Interesting Phil.
That first image gives us some idea of scale. It is also referenced to =
Art so we can attribute intellectual creativity to the authors of the =
picture.
But the rest....Art....I wonder. Technical skill....most certainly.=20
*Nano-* is becoming a buzz word for anything that is small without any =
reference to actual size, either by scale or comparison. One "Nanometre" =
is a billionth of a metre. Perhaps ten Sodium ions laid side by side =
would measure close to a Nanometre.
Enjoy your weekend.
