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 .

首先，这个航空器可能有着非常小的横截面，主要依赖于纳米技术来达到微型化，想象一个鱼雷般尺寸和形状的负载。

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 .

这种核弹可以放置在船上或是飞机上，但如果不能相当“小型化”，做为导弹的有效载荷它就毫无用处，而这需要极为困难的再设计技术。
