What word describes the property of a metal which allows it to be stretched into wire?
Monomolecular wire Monomolecular wire Monomolecular wire is a type of wire consisting of a single strand of strongly bonded atoms or molecules, like carbon nanotubes. Organic molecular wires have been proposed for use in optoelectronics. Silver is ductile enough to be stretched into a monatomic wire. Monomolecular wire is often used as a weapon in fiction. It has applications in cutting objects and severing adjacent molecules. A similar or identical concept may be called a microfilament wire or, as a weapon, a microfilament whip. Among the first references in fiction to a monofilament is in John Brunner's "Stand on Zanzibar" (1968), where
Stretched tuning if it is to sound convincing. The theory of temperaments in musical tuning do not normally take into account inharmonicity, which varies from instrument to instrument (and from string to string), but in practice the amount of inharmonicity present in a particular instrument will effect a modification to the theoretical temperament which is being applied to it. When a stretched wire string is excited into motion by plucking or striking, a complex wave travels outward to the ends of the string. As it travels outward, this initial impulse forces the wire out of its resting position all along its length.
