microsecond

The models follow several millions of molecules in time steps measured in microseconds.

They simulate several millions of molecules on microsecond time steps.

"Tracking dilepton emissions has allowed us to determine how hot the plasma was and when it started to cool, providing a direct view of conditions just microseconds after the universe's inception."

The problem is that you have to stay still until the calculation is good enough - not just a microsecond, but for several minutes.

"If your mind drifts for even 30 seconds, even a microsecond, it can be dangerous for everyone on the train."
