正如其表面意思一样，碳纳米管即由碳原子组成的微管。

A carbon nanotube is, as its name suggests, a tiny cylinder of carbon atoms.

冷却原子与纳米结构结合的另一种可能性，就是产生新的物态。

Another possibility is that this combination of cold atoms with nanoscale structures could lead to new states of matter.

纳米管是由碳原子拉长的空心圆筒。

The nanotubes are elongated, hollow cylinders of carbon atoms.

So, then we'll get to turn to a new kind of mechanics or quantum mechanics, which will in fact be able to describe what's happening on this very, very small size scale -- so on the atomic size scale on the order of nanometers or angstroms, very small particles.

然后我们要讲到一种,新的力学--量子力学,它可以解释,发生在很小尺度,大约是原子尺寸大小,也就是纳米或埃的量级。
