This ladder is metal.

Is it made of wood or metal?

The silkworm is spinning a thread.

A metal hulk, looking old and dangerous.

I lost track of the conversation.

We lost the thread of the conversation.

The thread is thin but sturdy.

The AlloSphere it's a three story metal sphere in an echo free chamber.

This thread is thinner than a human hair.

Thread is the basic component of fabric.

The thread is thin and breaks easily.

The sensor is just a little strip of metal in that headband there.

Give me any books you have on the subject.

Have you ever been to Tokyo?

Use dental floss after each meal.

The thread is thin but strong, and doesn't break.

That holds the long strand like this.

So what I want to do is say to a future bug, Spin me a thread.

One strand on a quipu can therefore contain several numbers.

When we synthesize it, it comes single stranded, so we can take the blue strand in one tube and make an orange strand in the other tube, and they're floppy when they're single stranded.

A table and a chair next to the door, several handcuffs at the back, with a metal pipe in place of a curtain rod, from which hangs a metal chain.

And so we marvel at silk worms the silk worm you see here spinning its fiber.

They would have escaped if not for the chain that bound them to the wall.

And so the net effect of all 250 of these strands is to fold the long strand into the shape that you're looking for.

Looking back, the thread that binds it all is the power of words.

Pull one thread the celibacy requirement for priests, for example and the whole edifice comes crashing down.

But to do it, you need a long, single strand of DNA, which is technically very difficult to get.

The net action of many of these on that long strand is to fold it into something like a rectangle.

'Oh, it was intolerable!' he said, trying to pick up the lost thread of what he had in his mind. 'He does not improve on nearer acquaintance.

So if you want to build a human from DNA origami, the problem is, you need a long strand that's 10 trillion trillion bases long.

In order for us to do this we had to find a common thread, what links us as a continent and as a people.

A strong theme of antisemitism runs through the site, with a large number of articles accusing Ukrainian leaders of being part of a Jewish conspiracy.

I can bring my laptop for you to copy it. Oh, don t bother, no need to carry it around, I d rather give you a memory stick later.

The pipeline is a long metal serpent, of weight equivalent to that of 242 Eiffel towers, with no breaks throughout its length, no valves and no maintenance stations.

So there's a strand that goes like this, goes along one helix and binds it jumps to another helix and comes back.

So fine was the thread that no frame could be found to weave it upon, nor would any weaver undertake to make one.

But the thread that united all, the theme that remained unerringly constant, was the yearning for change immediate, real, and tangible, not a promise or a tantalizing, unreachable mirage.

However, unlike the US and Britain in the past, China today must turn to overseas bases rather than colonization to enhance its sea power hence its string of pearls. Still, China is transforming its coastal navy into an ocean going navy at a pace far quicker than most experts reckoned possible.

However, unlike the US and Britain in the past, China today must turn to overseas bases rather than colonization to enhance its sea power hence its string of pearls.

But the theory says that if you could probe smaller, much smaller than we can with existing technology, you'd find something else inside these particles a little tiny vibrating filament of energy, a little tiny vibrating string.

A lot of what you see with all the students, there s almost like an invisible thread of your past pulling you to do certain areas of work, whether you sort of realize it or not, Cooper says.

Each one has a left half that binds the long strand in one place, and a right half that binds it in a different place, and brings the long strand together like this.

These short DNA sequences are what are going to fold the long strand into this shape that we want to make. So you send an e mail with these sequences in it to a company, and what it does the company pronounces them on a DNA synthesizer.

As recently as the 1980 s, phone calls over copper wire could carry only one page of information per second today, a thin strand of optical fiber can transmit 90,000 volumes in a second.

There is, interestingly, a common thread running through all of these cases, as well as the 2008 crisis financial sectors behaved badly and failed to assess creditworthiness and manage risk as they were supposed to do.
