The sculptures are very cool! That said, they're 20 x 80 x 100 microns, so aren't they microsculptures rather than nanosculptures?

- smnrchrds 6y agoOxford (which Google Dictionary uses) defines nanoscale as such: > of a size measurable in nanometers or microns. The typical definition of nanoscale in science is being in the 1–100 nm range. But in common use, micron-sized objects are still considered nanoscale.

- FigmentEngine 6y agoare you just splitting hairs now? :-)
- handol 6y agoA part can have features much smaller than it's total size. One way to think of it is, a part is nanoscale if you would choose nanometers as the length unit on the drawing.
- rhklein 6y agoNano might fit the definition, but 100micron (0.1mm) is visible with an ordinary microscope, so no electron microscope needed.
