Unfortunately, even the biggest particle accelerators in existence probe energies which are only about a millionth of that.
They found that the mucus film was typically less than 35 nanometres thick (a nanometre is a millionth of a millimetre).
He accomplished this by using a strobe light to freeze the action of the bullet at a millionth of a second.
Price drops or runups that the coin-tossing model sees as impossible--changes with a probability of a millionth of a millionth of a millionth of a millionth--occur frequently.
In Contador's case, the amount of clenbuterol found by the Wada laboratory in Cologne was estimated to be 50 picograms (millionths of a millionth of a gram) per litre.
It will have two telescopes mounted at opposite ends of a ten-metre boom, and will be able to measure astrometric wobbles as small as a millionth of an arcsecond.
I-mod pixels measure a mere 30 microns by 40 microns (a micron is a millionth of a metre), more than 80, 000 of them could fit in a square centimetre.
These can be as tiny as a millionth the size of a grain of salt which can amount to as little as a few cells of skin or sweat left in a fingerprint.
Extrapolating from this result, Dr Mileikowsky thinks that in a meteorite with a diameter of 20cm it would take about 1m years for such a colony to be reduced to a millionth of its original size.
To do this the spacecraft will need fantastically accurate control systems: they will have to measure changes in the positions of the satellites with a precision of 20 picometres (a picometre is a millionth of a micron).
That bit of trickery works because the light can be manipulated when the material is shaped with features about as big as the light's wavelength - less than a millionth of a metre for light that we can see.
K-longs, as befits their name, live to the ripe old age of a hundred-millionth of a second.
Even if experimenters bounce the beams to and fro to increase the effective length of an interferometer's arms to more than 100 kilometres, the expected difference in length between the two beams' paths still amounts to less than a hundred-millionth of the diameter of a hydrogen atom.
The sensors work by detecting extremely low-frequency electrical activity over a distance of 5 microns (one micron being equal to one millionth of a metre).
FORBES: Can Forensic Scientists Tell How Old A Fingerprint Is?
The end result was an array of 1, 024 squares, each two-thirds of a millimetre wide and made of up to 15 chemical layers, each just one five-millionth of a millimetre thick.
It can then release the light it absorbs in quick bursts that last a few femtoseconds each (with one femtosecond lasting one millionth of one billionth of a second), which is what ultrashort-pulse lasers do.
No one is even 2 to the 300 millionth times smarter than a squirrel.
Such nanotechnology involves engineering carbon-based polymer molecules, one-millionth the size of a grain of sand, that attach to fibers to wick away moisture and resist stains, water and static.
Over the year, Zuckerberg became a billionaire, and signed his 500 millionth person to Facebook.
Klout has been at the scoring game for a while, handing out its 100 millionth grade this month.
Viewed from ten light-years away, the sun's side-to-side astrometric wobble due to the effect of the earth is just one millionth of an arcsecond, or a twentieth of the tiniest angle that the Keck will be able to measure.
