Science in the News 4

The article I read this week is titled: Guinness record: World's thinnest glass just two atoms thick, and the link to the article is: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/09/130912095241.htm

This interesting article is about the world's thinnest sheet of glass, as the title states it. The issue relates to what I have seen in science because precisely we are studying about molecules and atoms and how small they really are. The position taken by the author of the article is one kind of like amazed or blown away. He is really impressed of how glass could have gotten so thin. Lots of studies have been made on this amazing discovery, for example, scientists form Cornell University and Germany's University of Ulm have made studies of how only an oxygen and a silicon atom combined make the thinnest sheet of glass.

This article means many things to me. For example, with this amazing discovery, we now know that scientists will be able to make small things in the future with the help of some science involved. I definitely agree with the position of the author, i am amazed and surprised of how something so small and thin could be cataloged as glass. I think the author did provided us with convincing evidence to support his position because those scientists of the universities gave us the data of how the thinnest glass is made of. The expectations for the future are really good regarding this article since new technology has been applied for this type of experiments.
