How to use "Waferthin" in context?
Glance at a 3-D printer, and you'll see just how much things have changed since the days of waferthin paper. In the 1800s, paper was typically less than 1 micrometer thick--about the thickness of a human hair. That was thin enough to see without a microscope, but not so thin that a needle could pierce it.
Today's 3-D printers can fabricate sheets of paper that are just a few nanometers thick--the thickness of a single molecule of water. That's thinner than a human hair and just a little thicker than a sheet of paper.
