The advance was a milestone in the continued miniaturization of electronics .
这个进展成为电子产品持续小型化的里程碑。
First , the vehicle would have to have a very small cross section and rely heavily on nanotechnology for miniaturization . Imagine a payload the shape and size of a torpedo .
At some point soon , however , miniaturization will reach a point that 's too tiny to be practical .
然而在不久的将来的某一天，小型化将达到一个小到不切实际的极限。
Miniaturization leads to computers in more and more products , increasing economies of scale and pushing costs down even faster .
小型化会使得计算机出现在越来越多的产品中，这就增强了规模经济从而使成本下降得更快。
Such a bomb could be loaded on a ship or an airplane , but without significant " miniaturization , " which requires difficult technological redesigning , it would be useless as a missile payload .
