Have you ever seen an atom?

Scientists at the University of California Los Angeles have found a way to create stunningly detailed 3D reconstructing of platinum nanoparticles at an atomic scale. These are being used to study tiny structural irregularities called dislocations.

It's amazing when you think of the size of the universe and the massive objects contained in it. The galaxy is the planets the Stars, the nebula, and on and on. And yet everything in the entire universe comes down to the microscopic level. That's really what rules the universe. The small things, not the large things. It's amazing to think about.

[@ComradeChilliBeans]

It really is amazing. The human body alone is made of 8 octillion atoms, and it’s practically impossible to imagine how many atoms are in our galaxy.

[@DerpMuse]

@@TomTom-bh2wf yes atoms are comprised of protons/neutrons/electrons. The Electron isnt made of anything, but it communicates information through photons. Protons and Neutrons are comprised of Up/Down Quarks, held together by Gluon field and color charge. The Electroweak force spontaneously release w/z bosons which cause neutrons to become protons, making net charge unbalanced and cause electrons to jump to the atom changing the atomic weight causing the atom to decay over lonnnnng periods of time through a set chain of atomic decay into specific elements due to how the new unstable mass splits into 2 or more new elements with less energy/mass and also some energy released to the aether of space as light or entropy increasing depending how you look at it.

But if enough of the atoms hang out together they make up some kind of matter (onion) right? So if the atoms are empty and the emptiness contained by an energy field how can the onion exist so that we see it?

If you are interested in single-atom microscopy, you might want to check out David Muller's work on single-atom diffraction (scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=Qjzp1T8AAAAJ&sortby=pubdate&citation_for_view=Qjzp1T8AAAAJ:g8uWPOAv7ggC) - this is just a conference abstract but the work is probably being published soon. I'm a grad student studying electron microscopy myself, and imaging single-atoms is quite difficult due to sample syntehsis and beam-specimen interactions. In my experience of microscopy of gold nanoparticles (supported on a thin film of carbon), single atoms are briefly visible and tend to agglomerate and form tiny clusters (to minimize surface energy). So isolating one for long enough to obtain a stable image with high signal-to-noise ratio is not trivial.

You believe it or not, i leave that upto you. Oh btw, electrons, protons and nutrons are not shrinkable for god's sake !! You just make a material more dense when you shrink it. You don't lose molecules or mass while doing so. Similarly you don't gain mass by expanding something. That's basic physics. Well, if you notice, i didn't mention about weight. Why?

[@musskeeterbump]

[@Biketunerfy]

In an atom there are three fundamental forces that keep atoms together. electromagnetic force, strong force, and weak force. The electromagnetic force keeps the electrons attached to the atom. The strong force keeps the protons and neutrons together in the atom. In addition, the strong force is also responsible for binding the quarks and gluons into protons and neutrons. So the nucleus of an atom is held together by the strong force, while the electrons are held in the atom by the electric force. Also, incase anyone is wondering the reason why we can not see the electrons orbiting around the atom is because they are unbelievably fast orbiting at a speed of 2188 Km/sec, so that’s 489,441,661 Miles per hour and they are very very small, way smaller than the nucleus so it’s currently not possible for now but I’m sure we will crack it some day in the not distant future…

[@douglasthompson9070]

You're not seeing the actual atoms. You're seeing the electron vibrations of the atoms. The atom is mostly empty space with a nucleus. And that nucleus is 100K times smaller than the width of the atom. So the 3D model is a representation of the representational image of the outer electron shell of a bunch of platinum atoms. Most likely using a modified electron microscope. But it's still cool.

[@douglasthompson9070]

Of course, what is seeing anyway but just a very narrow bandwidth of visible light photons bouncing off energy fields of electrons traveling around at the speed of light then hitting our eyes for our brain to process. The energy fields are all we will ever get see I think on the atomic level.

[@VeNoMS4]

they use a TEM for this and there are no photons involved here. it's all electrons because you cannot get a photon beam in the angstroms

[@Ferelmakina]

not really. in a metallic bond like that, the cores are toghether and the electrons move freely around the material

[@elimalinsky7069]

Well, seeing the electron cloud is crazy enough as it is. Seeing the actual nucleus and individual protons and neutrons is still science-fiction.

[@DanielRamirez-vm3be]

Uncertainty Principle, in one image

[@thesnare100]

Yes, I think it may be impossible to actually see the subatomic particles- that is- the nucleus and the electrons. There's the scanning tunnel microscope which shows them as small spheres, but I'm not sure it's possible to actually see the proton and the electron that orbits it in a hydrogen atom. The way our eyes work is by picking up visible light waves that reflect off of something, visible light couldn't reflect off of a proton or an electron.

[@giotag1819]

+thesnare100 We are talking about *electron* microscopes here, and by "seeing" we mean scanning a target with an electron beam, then detecting the transmitted beam or the interactions with the sample's surface, and transforming that into an image on a screen, which our eyes can see. The minimum wavelength of visible light (400 nm) means the theoretical limit of the resolution of a light microscope is around 200 nm, much more than the size of an atom.

[@ffggddss]

+ denilsson31 It's an *imaging technique*. But then, so are our eyes, if you really break down the physics of seeing. So yes, we *are* seeing atoms here. Granted, it's somewhat second-hand, because we see, with our eyes, the images of them that are produced by this contraption; but that's qualitatively no different from looking at something through an ordinary light microscope.

[@DanielRamirez-vm3be]

Another way to see them would be using x-rays or gamma rays instead of visible light, cause them have their wavelengths closer to the scales of an atom and a nucleus respectfully, and let the computer do the work transforming the data into visible light, like the infrared images of the Hubble
