Silver's natural germ-killing ability stems from its extremely slow release of silver ions (electrically charged atoms, or groups of atoms).

银的天然杀菌能力来源于其以极慢速度释放的银离子（带电的原子或原子团）。

When the voltage is increased to a critical level, silver ions form and quickly branch through the organic monolayer to the gold wire just like a lightning bolt except solid.

当这种电压增加到临界水平时，银离子形成并很快分支生长穿过该有机单分子层到达那根金线，整个过程就像是一个晴天霹雳——固体除外。

One is "silver wash", a washing machine made by Samsung, which claims to employ nanotechnology to release hundreds of billions of silver ions during a wash to sanitise fabrics.

比如其中一款由三星公司出品的名为“Silver Wash”的洗衣机，该产品声称采用了纳米技术，在洗涤的过程中能释放大量的银离子来为衣物消毒。
