Lesbian Fiction ForumIn doing the recent research into Nanotechnology, I came across an image.
That is a dust mite. Those are gears made by nanotechnology.
It is hard to understand something that small being made by something just as small. Nanobots are not just a little diode or resistor. A nanobot is a little motor, a little moving gear that works with other little moving gears. They manipulate things on a molecular level. That means they can deal with a single cell and its contents. They can coat the threads within a thread within a thread with little barbs that keep dirt from sticking. (nanopants)
They (anything called 'nano') is so small they had to come up with their own measurement - a "nanometers." A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter.

Wow, the dust mite and gears are so small you can't even see the picture or link. Maybe that's the whole point???

There, I enlarged it so your old smoke-free eyes can see it better.
