Summary
This article corrects scale bar units in figures from micrometers (µm) to nanometers (nm). The correction ensures accurate representation of nanoscale measurements in scientific data.
Area of Science:
- Scientific methodology
- Data visualization
Background:
- Accurate scale bar representation is crucial for interpreting scientific images.
- Previous versions of the article contained errors in scale bar units.
Purpose of the Study:
- To correct erroneous scale bar units in figures.
- To ensure the accurate depiction of nanoscale measurements.
Main Methods:
- Review and correction of figures within the article.
- Updating scale bar labels from 'µm' to 'nm'.
Main Results:
- Figures 1a, 2a, 3a, and 4b have been corrected.
- Scale bar units are now accurately displayed as nanometers (nm).

02:20Milgram's Obedience to Authority
7.4K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a collection of statistical and mathematical techniques used to develop, improve, and optimize processes. It is particularly valuable when many input variables or factors potentially influence a response variable.
The process of RSM involves several key steps:

01:15Distance Corrections
301
To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

01:20Power Factor Correction
557
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

17.7K
Ionic crystals consist of two or more different kinds of ions that usually have different sizes. The packing of these ions into a crystal structure is more complex than the packing of metal atoms that are the same size.
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

01:25Crystal Growth: Principles of Crystallization
5.1K
Crystallization is a phase transformation process in which crystals are precipitated from a supersaturated solution or formed from other sources. During crystallization, atoms or molecules arrange themselves into a well-defined, rigid crystal lattice to minimize energy.
Initiating crystallization involves manipulating the concentration of the solute and the temperature of the solution. Since crystal growth occurs when the ratio of concentration and solubility of the solute in the solvent...
