Nanons

Electron microscope animation: Carbon nanotubes pulled into thread Applied Science
Watching the carbon nanotubes being pulled into a thread is very cool. It is only a small portion of the video. The rest is Ben Krasnow talking about the electron microscope he used to make the animation. It's an old one, which is cool as well. Good that he caught this machine before it got hauled off for scrap, which is what I suspect happens to most outdated instruments. Nanon is my new word for nanometer. Micron is a stand in for one millionth of a meter, so I think Nanon is a perfectly cromulent word.
