"Developing the perfectly round and flat sphere"?

I can see how that will be a difficult task!

I’ve always called a roundd flat sphere a disk.

Flat? The word was “smooth.” A ball.

That is one way of counting atoms; another way would be to create a cylinder. What makes a disc disc-y? A certain proportion between its dimensions?

For silicon, a particular isotope would be needed in order to pin down the precision satisfactorily.
