This is a bit belated, but you can do the symbol(s) for micrometre ( µm ) like this: &_micro_;m (omit the underscores). ❋ Unknown (2010)
Just as microelectronics exploits the behaviour of electrons in metals and semiconductors on micrometre scales, so nanoplasmonics is concerned with the nanoscale comings and goings of entities known as plasmons that lurk on and below the surfaces of metals… SPASERS! ❋ Unknown (2010)
(I should have guessed actually, due to the bed being covered in a micrometre-thin layer of ancient bark chips, which together with decking seems to be our landlord's solution to anything remotely horticultural.) ❋ Dame_habonde (2006)
Myxobacteria are micrometre-scale filament-shaped organisms that glide along surfaces, leaving a trail of slime in their wake. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Weighing a mere 3.9 grams, the microscope has been used to image blood vessels lying 1 millimetre below the surface of the brains of anaesthetised mice, with a resolution of 1 micrometre one-thousandth of a mm. ❋ Unknown (2005)
One micrometre is equivalent to a thousandth of a millimetre. ❋ Unknown (2002)
The key is to the cells high efficiency is its use of small micrometre sized rods of silicon instead of traditional silicon wafers. ❋ Ani (2010)
The presence of 1050 micrometre diameter magnetized iron spheres in the soils, distributed linearly Over the course of a single night, the team was able to create a stereotypical "man-made" circle that they then attempted to enhance using the three criteria. ❋ Unknown (2010)
"We have demonstrated a plasmonic motor only 100 nanometers in size that when illuminated with linearly polarized light can generate a torque sufficient to drive a micrometre-sized silica disk 4,000 times larger in volume," says Xiang Zhang, a principal investigator with ❋ Unknown (2010)
Complete 3D map of the world measuring only 22 by 11 micrometre was "written" on a polymer. ❋ Unknown (2010)
To begin their invention, the researchers grew a forest of micrometre-wide silicon wires on a silicon base. ❋ Unknown (2010)
