Among the holy grails his team is chasing are a potential billionfold improvement in present - day calorimetry , which would allow observation of the individual heat quanta being exchanged as nanodevices cool , and a potential quadrillion - fold increase in the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging , which would enable complex biomolecules to be visualized with three - dimensional atomic resolution 他的团队追求的圣杯之一，是让现有量热器灵敏10亿倍，藉以量测奈米元件冷却时释放的一个个热量子；另一个圣杯是灵敏千兆倍的磁共振成像，三维的解析度可达原子大小，藉以观测复杂的生物分子。

Bear in mind also that the outstanding notional stock of derivatives has soared to more than $ 1 / 2 quadrillion over this horizon , representing an extra $ 1 . 7 million haystack in which to search for the poisoned needle of mathematically - abstruse , systemic risk for each and every , readily - valued , new ounce of metal brought laboriously up from the stygian gloom and into the broad light of day 还有一点也要引起重视，衍生品市场的名义净持仓已增加到了500万亿美金以上，这相当于在价值170万美元的干草堆中寻找每一根针鼻那么大的金子，也就是不辞辛劳、苦苦搜索那每一盎司新开采出来的黄金，这些玩意儿被人们从黑暗的地狱中找出来，现如今终于来到光天化日之下。
