And all the way up!
There are organisms for whom our galaxies are seen as cells.
What organisms are those?
Your mom.
Fucking rekt him.
Brb, nuking account, destroying phone and burning my clothing.
This is just really neat. Keep up the good work, scientists!
One step closer to teleporters
Screw teleporters, I want replicators
Real monkey paw here...
Aww, that guy's kinda cute, why wouldn't I want to let it live in my house with its pals?
It's just a toy!
I’ve been watching SG1 for the first time and recently watched this episode. Buckets of fun!
All of the above and holodecks please
Yeah, I suppose replicators are an inevitable punctuated step on the way.
Is there much difference between the two logistically? Seems like the replicator is just the second half of a transporter.
Well there's an episode in ds9 where a replicator is modified into a teleporter, so in the star trek universe they're very similar. Replicators reconstitute matter from waste material, and seems to me to be far more likely in the realm of scientific possibility.
It's incredible that we can actually 'see' the atomic lattice and it's also pretty wicked that the oxygen atom is more 'fuzzy' because, I think given the explanation on how they imaged this, it's less dense than praseodymium and scandium.
Crazy
how do they achieve higher resolutions than with former electron microscopes.
They use a technique called ptychography. They explain it a bit more in the article.
The way they describe it in the article is how I understand a electron microscope works
interferometry
Neat!
