Yes, they are different things. My recommendation is you to read some wiki pages on different types of strength, how they differ and how you combine materials to obtain the properties you want. If you want some simple examples; consider a a piece of rope which can have high tensile strength...

They are talking about intrinsic material properties such as yield and tensile strength of a single atomic layer of the material. Steel has ~500MPa tensile strength while graphene/borophene has >100 000MPa, i.e. more than 200 times of steel. Check...

EMP stands for Electro Magnetic Pulse. In military applications, it is typically a very short duration (a few ns) pulses of microwave radiation. There are two reasons why pulses are used. 1. The reason why pulses are used is that you can concentrate the energy into very high levels up to...

The 6 nm refers to something which is called critical dimension in an design, it typically corresponds to the physical gate width. In layman's term, you could consider the gate to be the light switch in your home, the smaller the switch then the faster you can turn it on and off. A smaller...
