1. nano - "tiny"

2. lith - "stone"

3. graphy - "writing:

As in, "tiny writing on stone".

2313

The university that this nanolab is located in was founded in October of 1825, in Germany.

What is KIT INT, or the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology's Institute of Nanotechnology?

2313

The process of engraving patterns into a silicon wafer for use as a transistor is called this.

What is lithography?

2313

These are random deviations of an atomic system from its average state, that occur in a system at equilibrium.

What are thermal fluctuations?

2313

This practice is a very-high-resolution type of scanning probe microscopy (SPM), with demonstrated resolution on the order of fractions of a nanometer, more than 1000 times better than the optical diffraction limit.

What is atomic force microscopy (AFM) or scanning force microscopy (SFM)?

2313

A nanometer is this many times smaller than the diameter of the Earth.

What is about 12 quadrillion?

3084

The lab at UC Berkeley has this many employees.

What is 25?

3084

The Apple iPhone 15 series and Apple M3 series architecture is based off of a semiconductor process this big.

What is 3 nm?

3084

This is the portion of a system's entropy that is related to discrete representative positions of its constituent particles.

What is configuration entropy?

3084

Nanorobots offer this specific advantage over conventional, non-engine nanomaterials.

What is autonomy?

3084

It takes light this long to cross an atom.

3855

This lithography technique is cheaper than others; it uses polydimethylsiloxane and only works at micron size and larger.

What is soft lithography?

3855

This is an elastic (reversible) response to an applied stress, caused by a phase transformation between the austenitic and martensitic phases of a crystal, exhibited in shape-memory alloys.

What is pseudoelasticity (or superelasticity)?

3855

Nanobots are commonly made from these two materials.

What are silicone and oxygen? (Answers that would also work: carbon, silicon)
