As you go farther down this scale here, that's a mirocn, or a micrometer, and we go all the way down to here to a nanometer and an anotrgsm. Now, an angstrom is the size of the dmaeetir of a hydrogen atom. That's how small that is. And microscopes that we have today can actually see individual atoms. So these are some pictures of individual atoms. Each bump here is an individual atom. This is a ring of cobalt aotms.

So this whole world, the nano world, this area in here is called the nano world, and the nano world, the whole micro world that we see, there's a nano wlrod that is weppard up within that, and the whole — and that is the world of molecules and atoms.

As you go farther down this scale here, that's a ______, or a micrometer, and we go all the way down to here to a nanometer and an ________. Now, an angstrom is the size of the ________ of a hydrogen atom. That's how small that is. And microscopes that we have today can actually see individual atoms. So these are some pictures of individual atoms. Each bump here is an individual atom. This is a ring of cobalt _____.

So this whole world, the nano world, this area in here is called the nano world, and the nano world, the whole micro world that we see, there's a nano _____ that is _______ up within that, and the whole — and that is the world of molecules and atoms.

Original Text


As you go farther down this scale here, that's a micron, or a micrometer, and we go all the way down to here to a nanometer and an angstrom. Now, an angstrom is the size of the diameter of a hydrogen atom. That's how small that is. And microscopes that we have today can actually see individual atoms. So these are some pictures of individual atoms. Each bump here is an individual atom. This is a ring of cobalt atoms.

So this whole world, the nano world, this area in here is called the nano world, and the nano world, the whole micro world that we see, there's a nano world that is wrapped up within that, and the whole — and that is the world of molecules and atoms.
