Nick, gaming, and computers all first met in 1981, with the love affair starting on a Sinclair ZX81 in kit form and a book on ZX Basic. He ended up becoming a physics and IT teacher, but by the late 1990s decided it was time to cut his teeth writing for a long defunct UK tech site.
Scientists and engineers have multiple ways of measuring the smallest aspects of our world, including scanning tunnelling electron and atomic force microscopes. Now, a team of researchers in Germany have invented a novel method for measuring the distances between molecules to a potential accuracy of just 0.1 nm. That's roughly the size of a single atom and the work should help scientists better understand the behaviour of protein molecules.
And that's what Dr Steffen Sahl and the rest of the team have improved in their new approach. I've always had a fondness for science, even as a child, but I went down the route of physics, as I preferred it to the messiness of biology and chemistry . Ignore the big words and just look at the scale of the precision: 0.1 nm. That's the size of an everyday atom. That's super precise.Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors
But if you are wondering what the insides of a CPU look like, right down on the nanometer scale, then check out thisIf a team of researchers fancies coming up with a way of hitting that level with microprocessors, it'd be a really cool way to see just how truthful TSMC, Samsung, and Intel's claims are when it comes to their process nodes.
