Fine motor development is an important part of the toddler and childhood years to help the child be more independent in day-to-day tasks. Think about zipping a coat, buttoning pants, unlocking a door, writing your name[;] these all require fine motor skills with the use of... small muscles in our hands and fingers. 4, record 1, English, - fine%20motor%20skill%20development

Zipping electrons more quickly from point A to point B is only one way that heterostructures could lead to speedier semiconductor devices. Heterostructure(or superlattice) devices delineate features not by adding impurities but by changing the host material itself. As designers push toward gate lengths of only 0. 2-0. 3 micron, heterostructure transistors loom as the most likely avenue for ultra-large-scale integration. 1, record 4, English, - heterostructure%20semiconductor%20device
