But it was concentrated onto a speck a little more than one thousandth of a millimetre across and it lasted for just 30 femtoseconds (30 million billionths of a second).
The aperture will adjust from F2.9 to F8 without any prompting, and the shutter will set itself anywhere from one-thirtieth of a second to one-one thousandth of a second.
FORBES: Ten O'Clock Tech: New Digital Camera Uses Tiny Memory Card
After that the industry will have to move on to nonoptical techniques, such as electron beams or even X rays, which have wavelengths less than a nanometer, one thousandth of a micron.
When the effects are calculated in a standard climate model, the result is a reduction in average temperature of 0.00005oC (one twenty-thousandth of a degree Celsius, or one ten-thousandth of a degree Fahrenheit).
The rem can be expressed in smaller units called millirems, which equal one one-thousandth of a rem.
Even when adjusted for inflation, that's less than one one-thousandth of the sales this still lithe giant racks up today.
Sharp's new finely grained silicon technology could ultimately produce transistors one-thousandth the size of current ones, well in range of holography.
Chipmakers are getting on board now that wafer-circuitry has narrowed below 90 nanometers, or one one-thousandth the width of a human hair.
After that the industry will have to move on to nonoptical techniques, such as electron beams or even X rays, which have wavelengths less than 1 nanometer, or one-thousandth of a micron.
Earlier Thursday, new Alpha commander Frank Culbertson and Russian flight engineers Vladimir Dezhurov and Mikhail Tyurin beamed down a message marking the one-thousandth day in space for the first component of the space station, the Russian-built Zarya module.
"We're here today to wish the international space station some greetings itself because today is the one-thousandth day that the first component of the station has been on orbit , " Culbertson said as he floated in Zarya with Dezhurov and Tyurin.
Nektar therapeutic's engineering feat--the first insulin inhaler for adult diabetics--required inventing a way to turn liquid insulin into a powder of uniform particles just 2 microns wide (one one-thousandth the width of a pinhead), each containing hundreds of millions of stable insulin molecules.
Think of it this way: if we took one-thousandth of a second of footage from the femto camera video output and slowed it down to the speed of 30 seconds per frame -- the approximate speed of a standard TV broadcast -- it would take us a lifetime to watch.
To put this in perspective, if the Earth's 6.4 billion people each did one calculation per second, we would be working at about one ten-thousandth of the speed of TeraGrid.
This phenomenon is a spiral distortion of space which should if relativity is correct happen when massive bodies rotate. (In essence, such bodies drag space round with them.) Frame-dragging is predicted to cause an additional precession of one hundred-thousandth of a degree, perpendicular to that caused by the geodetic effect.
In a country of 1.2 billion people, a country where years of staggering economic growth annually create tens of thousands of new millionaires and a recent slowdown has done little damage to a thriving luxury goods market, far less than one ten-thousandth of the population admits they are in the top tax bracket.
