New Type of Atomic Microscope On the Way

Iddo Genuth writes "Researchers at the Surface Science Laboratory at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid have created an ultrasmooth mirror that could be used to create a revolutionary new atomic microscope within the next several years. The new atomic microscope — using helium atoms for imaging — has the potential to provide the same resolution as existing electron microscopes but without many of the problems which have plagued them for years."

Yes, and it isn't Troll either. It's a serious concern for many people. Grow up, moderators.

hehe, pretty awesome job whoever you are. One of the few offtopic, trollish ACs that manage to get regular responses to the posts.

You're gonna have to get some new material soon though - I've seen this a bunch of threads now.

Maybe you can do a sequel of "what if the majority of people were Muslim" or "what if the majority of people were Ass Clowns that like to post repetitive shit on /. articles". I'm sure there are many more options... I sure do prefer these to the shit eating posts.
