Nano

Geologist Marek Zbik, of Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia, has discovered nano particles in dirt from the moon's surface, something not present in dirt on earth.

Zbik used a synchrotron-based nano tomograph to study dirt samples from the moon, which makes a 3-D image of the particles being studied, and found that trapped inside molecular sized glass bubbles were nano particles. Until now, scientist did not have the ability to see particles this small, therefore had no idea these nano partices existed.
