When two intersecting nanorods reach about 1.5 nanometers apart, the team reasoned, the water caught between them could be forced to quickly evaporate.

Furthermore, as part of this study the team demonstrated the ability to position gold nanoparticles into prescribed 2D architectures less than two nanometers apart from each other along the crystal structure — a critical feature for future quantum devices and a significant technical advance for their scalable production, said co-lead author Wei Sun, Ph.D., Wyss Institute Postdoctoral Fellow.

For any two objects situated mere nanometers apart, the formula can be used to calculate the most heat one body may transmit to another, based on two parameters: what the objects are made of, and how far apart they are.

Currently qubits based on a particle's spin direction must be positioned about 15 nanometers apart — any more, and their entanglement fails.

Hard drives, for instance, are made by magnetic domains, and those magnetic domains are about 10 nanometers apart.»

That meant the engineers had to devise cloaking components only tens of nanometers apart.

Now, in the 1 August Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Hell and colleagues report imaging molecules 15 to 20 nanometers apart in dead cells.

A high - tech microscope, assembled in a living room (above), revealed molecules (red, inset) nanometers apart inside a cell's mitochondria.

Because «blinking» is precisely tunable, molecules that are only nanometers apart from each other can be distinguished — at the higher resolution end of super-resolution.

They also showed that the signals from two nuclei would be subtly correlated if the nuclei were less than about half a nanometer apart.

If the satellites are moving together or apart at as little as 150 nanometers per second, the GRACE scientists can see it.

What It's Made of: A rigid synthetic polymer composed of tiny rods spaced about 350 nanometers (billionths of a meter) apart, a gap small enough to manipulate waves of visible light.

When two smooth, slick surfaces are submerged in water and brought within 100 nanometers of each other, something odd happens: they adhere, even though they are too far apart for electrostatic forces to bridge them.
