TEDxCaltech - Don Eigler - Moving Atoms, one-by-one

[@Tasarran]

Because at that resolution, the depth of field causes anything more than an atomic width away to get blurry. The platinum atoms in the underlying surface are packed in a tight lattice, so any blurring causes them to just seem like a solid wall. Those little dots scattered around are single-atom imperfections in the platinum.

How do you know you’re ‘moving’ atoms and not moving energy in between empty atoms that already occupy the empty space?

[@EscortsSociety]

Great TED talk Don, thanks.

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

So ok, uhmmm... If that was an image of an Atom on a surface... why can't we see the individual atoms of the surface?

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

Very interesting, thankyou.

Eventually everyrhing you know to be true will become untrue disproven or inacurate.lacking some piece of what reality is perceved to be or become to be percieved as.if theres anything that is constant it is our short sighted imperfect perception of what is Buddhas name be praised
