finer

"By squeezing -- silencing the noise -- you effectively use quantum mechanical interactions to 'squish' that meter stick, effectively creating finer gradations and allowing you to measure smaller things more precisely."

Among modular solutions, the finer points of which technology wins out get a bit complicated.

"It's got a fantastic and interesting landscape already but when you look in detail a lot of the finer biodiversity, like everywhere else, is not there as it should be," he said.

This breakthrough paves the way for scientists to study finer details of stars, planets, and other celestial objects, potentially transforming how we explore the universe.

Normally, these deposits show a simple pattern with coarse grains at the bottom and finer grains on top.
