EMU Notes in Mineralogy 8
Published by the European Mineralogical Union and the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain & Ireland
The properties of matter at extreme length scales and the respective processes can markedly differ from the properties and processes at length scales directly accessible to human observation. This scale-dependent behaviour is possible in both directions; towards very large and very small scales. Scientists explore the frontiers of these extreme length scales with tremendous efforts and try to gain insight into yet unknown properties and processes.
