All the normal matter in the Universe is made up of teeny tiny building blocks that are far too small to be seen with the naked eye.

    So it’s galaxies all the way down?

      And all the way up!

      There are organisms for whom our galaxies are seen as cells.

        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.

        Yeah, I suppose replicators are an inevitable punctuated step on the way.

    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.

    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
