    I gave up halfway because I’m just not gonna understand, but this is very exciting news - at least it appears to be.

      They built a chain of tellurium instead of a cube or a sheet of it and cut it using a new very accurate technique to be 1 atom wide chain. They verified the endpoints are cut cleanly with radio image microscopy I think.

        …ringworld, johnny mnemonic, and cube all taught me that monofilament is material to be feared…

        Once again, that’s over my head. I appreciate you adding context. Thanks! I have slightly more understanding of what this means.

      That’s the best kind of science article. No catchy headline & too complicated even in a summary
