It's little more than a fancy small-scale version of a Scientology e-meter, a gadget that picks up on noise in the environment.

它比山达基教精美的小型电子测量仪强那么一点，这个小仪器可以检测环境中的噪音。

At this scale, noise and heat are essentially indistinguishable, manifesting themselves as vibrations in the lattice of atoms forming the material from which the chip is carved.

在这个尺度下，噪音和热根本分不开，都表现为雕蚀芯片的材料的晶格原子的震动。

At its finest scale, we should be able to probe down the "Planck length" which measures 10-35 meters. But the GEO600 experiment detected noise at scales of less than 10-15 meters.

要验证这一点，我们需要深入到普朗克尺度(10 - 35米)进行探测，而GEO600实验中探测到的噪音尺度为不到10 - 15米。

"The level and distribution of underwater noise is growing at a global scale but receives very little attention, " says Dr Slabbekoorn.

Conventional CMOS image sensors mount the pixel section and analog logic circuit on top of the same chip, which require numerous constraints when wishing to mount the large-scale circuits such as measures to counter the circuit scale and chip size, measures to suppress noise caused by the layout of the pixel and circuit sections, and optimizing the characteristics of pixels and circuit transistors.

This makes it easier to scale up the number of disks in the drive while keeping drive power consumption and acoustic noise at acceptable levels (and even lower than the air filled drives).
