(1) While I'm thinking about it, did you know that last year an electron microscope was developed with a u2018resolutionu2019 of 1 angstrom ?(2) An angstrom is an atomic scale unit of measure of one ten - billionth of a meter, approximately equaling the diameter of an atom.(3) An angstrom , the smallest wavelength of light, is about 500,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair.(4) The strength of the interactions involving the N-terminal residues increases between 2 and 4 ns, with an average decrease in the interside-chain distance of about an angstrom in all cases.(5) The gramicidin channel consists of a head-to-head dimer of beta 6.5 helices in which the 4 - angstrom pore is lined by the neutrally terminated peptide backbone.(6) An angstrom is a unit of length equal to one ten billionth of a meter.(7) Since an angstrom is a tenth of a millionth of a metre, that's pretty small.(8) An angstrom , a unit of length measuring the wavelength of light, is about 500,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair.(9) Some physicists like to use angstroms for wavelengths, while others use the strict metric system, so you will also find wavelengths given in nanometers.(10) The rate of crack propagation in stage I is generally very low, on the order of angstroms per cycle, compared with crack propagation rates of microns per cycle for stage II.(11) The Mg 2 + cations were initially positioned several angstroms from the solute.(12) Lipid molecules in large membranes are believed to assemble and move collectively as aggregates (so called u2018raftsu2019), which can span several hundred angstroms of the bilayer surface.(13) Photonic crystal technology can create color screen displays 1,000 angstroms thick ideal for cell phones or new generation palm pilots.(14) Dissecting out these small motions from thermal noise, already of amplitude a few angstroms , remains a challenge in simulation analysis.(15) If one could stretch it out, a single DNA molecule can be more than a meter long (although only a few hundred angstroms wide)!(16) In the absence of a polymer cushion, the aqueous film thickness was found to vary between a few angstroms and more than 4 nm.
