10 000x facts
While investigating facts about 10 000x, I found out little known, but curios details like:
Nanocardboard is made out of an aluminum oxide film with a thickness of tens of nanometers. Its sandwich structure, similar to that of corrugated cardboard, makes it more than 10,000x as stiff as a solid plate of the same mass. Shining a light on a piece of nanocardboard allows it to levitate.
In 2009, a user friendly electron microscope capable of 10,000x magnification was developed and delivered to an elementary school in Japan to promote science education
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 7 of the best facts about 10 000x I managed to collect.
