Scientists Capture Shadow Cast By 1 Atom
slew writes "Scientist at Griffith University have shown the first absorption image of a single atom isolated in a vacuum. A single atomic ion was confined in an RF Paul trap and the absorption imaged at near wavelength resolution with a phase Fresnel lens. They predict this absorption imaging technique should prove useful in quantum information processing and using the minimum amount of illumination for bio-imaging of light-sensitive samples. Here's a pointer to the paper."
Looks like you didn't notice that Einsteinium atom in the background sticking its tongue out.
Um, no duh they treat the Higgs-Boson like a religious event: it holds mass fer christ's sake!!
I fail
You got that right.
Call me dumb
No, because on this site we try to avoid redundant posts.
Do I look fat with this electron?
Negative.
