The University of Utah built an interactive sliding scale to illustrate the size of REALLY REALLY small things like cells, atoms, HIV, water molecule, etc. Click the link to see. Very cool. picked by jasontho 1 month ago

Squarks, photinos, selectrons, neutralinos. These are just a few types of supersymmetric particles, a special brand of particle that may be created when the world's most powerful atom smasher goes online this spring. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on Aug. 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city. He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki just in time for the second attack. picked by tigertony 8 months ago

Imagine a bracelet or a watch that morphs into something else when you take it off. Perhaps it becomes a phone, or perhaps a small computer screen and keyboard. Researchers are just a few years away from bringing to life revolutionary morphing devices known as programmable matter which can change size, shape and function. picked by AutumnLotus 11 months ago

Mixing antimatter and matter usually has predictably violent consequences – the two annihilate one another in a fierce burst of energy.

But physicists in Geneva have found a new way to make the two combine, at least briefly, into a single substance. This exceptionally unstable stuff, made of protons and antiprotons, is called protonium. picked by 2manyusernames 3 years ago

IBM has demonstrated the ability to store a bit on a single atom, as well as a molecular switch that could enable processors small enough to create dust-speck-sized supercomputers.
