The researchers managed to produce samples with fewer than 3 parts per million of
^29Si—some 1/10,000 less ^29Si impurities than what exists in natural silicon.
Is 1/10000th less correct?
That doesn't sound like a worthwhile figure?
- wtallis 2y agoThe article is definitely describing the change in a confusing way, but it mentions earlier that the starting point of naturally-occurring silicon is 4.5% Si-29, so getting that down to 3ppm is a reduction by a factor of 15,000.
- justinclift 2y agoThanks, reducing it by a factor of 15k sounds worthwhile. :)
