How smal is small?

 

V článku o Nanotechnologii, který překládám je otázka: HOW SMALL IS SMALL? Jak to nejlépe přeložit? Díky za odpověď

Já osobně bych to přeložil asi takhle, ale nevím: Co skutečně znamená slovo malý?

Jak malý je malý?

Nic víc, nic míň :-)

No, ale to Nic víc, nic míň k tomu článku moc nesedí :oops: . A „jak malý je malý?“ je podle mě hodně kostrbaté a v češtině to sokro nedává smysl.

možná se to někomu povede rozluštit z kontextu
článek o Nanotechnologii:

How small is small?
Nanomaterials are typically between 0.1 and 100 nanometres (nm) in size – with 1 nm being equivalent to one billionth of a metre (10–9 m) – smaller than the wavelength of visible light and a hundred-thousandth the width of a human hair. Nanotechnology is science and engineering at the scale of atoms and molecules. It is the manipulation and use of materials and devices so tiny that nothing can be built any smaller. In a lecture called „Small Wonders:The World of Nanoscience,“ Nobel Prize winner Dr. Horst Störmer said that the nanoscale is more interesting than the atomic scale because the nanoscale is the first point where we can assemble something – it's not until we start putting atoms together that we can make anything useful.
Unwittingly, people have made use of some unusual properties of materials at the nanoscale for centuries. Tiny particles of gold for example, can appear red or green – a property that has been used to colour stained glass windows for over 1000 years.
Nanotechnology is found elsewhere today in products ranging from nanometre-thick films on „self-cleaning“ windows to pigments in sunscreens and lipsticks.
However, experimental nanotechnology did not come into its own until 1981, when IBM scientists in Zurich, Switzerland, built the first scanning tunnelling microscope (STM). This allows us to see single atoms by scanning a tiny probe over the surface of a silicon crystal. Further techniques have since been developed to capture images at the atomic scale, these include the atomic force microscope (AFM), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the even a kind of modified light microscope.
Other significant advances were made in 1985, when chemists discovered how to create a soccer-ball-shaped molecule of 60 carbon atoms, which they called buckminsterfu­llerene (also known as C60 or buckyballs). And in 1991, tiny, super-strong rolls of carbon atoms known as carbon nanotubes were created. These are six times lighter, yet 100 times stronger than steel.
Both materials have important applications as nanoscale building blocks. Nanotubes have been made into fibres, long threads and fabrics, and used to create tough plastics, computer chips, toxic gas detectors, and numerous other novel materials. The far future might even see the unique properties of nanotubes harnessed to build a space elevator.

Mě to česky přijde (a to jsem rodilý mluvčí) :-)
Ale jak chceš…

Má pravdu, předsedo…prostě nadpis článku o nanomateriálech je „Jak malý je malý“

OK, dobře už jste mě zdolali tak dám na vás :-D stejně to lépe nevymyslím
