He said they weren't as good as the ones formed using the Langmuir–Blodgett technique.

他说那种膜不如 Langmuir–Blodgett 技术形成的膜好。

Jacob thought, if you put a Langmuir–Blodgett layer on top of a polymer film, you could organize the molecules.

Jacob 想如果把 Langmuir–Blodgett 膜放聚物膜上，人们就能组织分子了。

This process had been invented back in the late 1920s by Irving Langmuir and Katharine Blodgett.

这工上世纪20年代末就由 Irving Langmuir 和 Katharine Blodgett 发明。

If the Langmuir–Blodgett monolayers were too compressed to reorganize, what if you didn't use them at all?

如果 Langmuir–Blodgett 单层膜过于紧密而无法重组，那么彻底不用它又会如何呢？

They find that fluoride treatment can loosen bacteria's grip on tooth enamel. The study is in the journal Langmuir.

他们发现氟处理能缓解牙釉质里细菌的压力。这项研究发表《朗缪尔》期刊上。

The work is published in the journal Langmuir.

该研究发表《朗缪尔》杂志上。

The Langmuir–Blodgett monolayers were created by pushing a lot of molecules together and now they were stuck.

Langmuir–Blodgett 单分子层是大量分子被推到起而形成的，而现分子彼此黏住了。

" They were asking themselves, how can we align the molecules within the Langmuir–Blodgett."

“他们问自己：如何排列 Langmuir–Blodgett 膜内的分子？”

Everyone else at the lab was comfortable using Langmuir–Blodgett monolayers and they didn't want to change course.

实验室其他人用 Langmuir–Blodgett 单层膜很顺手，他们不想改变实验过程。

He rushed to the library to learn more about this technique, and went on to join a lab led by Hans Kuhn, who was building off the technique that Langmuir and Blodgett had developed.

他冲进图书馆深入学习这项技术的知识，接着参加了 Hans Kuhn 带领的实验室，而 Hans Kuhn 当时升级改进 Langmuir 和 Blodgett 研发的技术。
