Icon Becker on Instagram: "🧬 Scientists just photographed a single atom—and you can see it with your naked eye. ✅ Strontium atom suspended in an electromagnetic field ✅ Illuminated with a purple laser ✅ Trapped using ion trap tech ✅ First time we’ve seen what reality is made of A new era of precision begins. #QuantumPhysics #SingleAtom #NanoTech #QuantumLeap #ScienceBreakthrough"

Invention on Instagram: "In 2013, IBM scientists created A Boy and His Atom, the world’s smallest movie, by moving individual carbon monoxide molecules one at a time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, which can magnify surfaces over 100 million times, they positioned 65 atoms to form shapes and patterns that came together as frames of a stop motion film. Each frame measured just 45 by 25 nanometers, so small that 1,000 frames could fit inside a single grain of salt. The achievement was reco

Part 44: The Atomic Bomb's Impact on History

archive on Instagram: "On May 16, 1958, the United States conducted an underwater nuclear test called Wahoo. The device had a yield of 9 kilotons — similar to the Hiroshima bomb — but this time, the detonation occurred beneath the ocean’s surface. Within a second, a dome of water rose over 840 feet into the air. By seven seconds, it had widened to nearly 3,800 feet, sending violent plumes in every direction. By the 12th second, the vertical column began to collapse, while massive water surges co

Legacy on Instagram: "No problem! Here’s the information about the Precision Tests of Time Dilation with Atomic Clocks ⏱ Cr 🔹 What Was Tested? • Time dilation, a cornerstone of special relativity, states that time moves slower for objects traveling at high speeds. 🚀🕒 • This was tested using ultra-precise atomic clocks onboard fast-moving planes and satellites. 🔹 Key Experiments 1️⃣ Hafele-Keating Experiment (1971): • Atomic clocks were flown around the world on commercial jets. • Result: Clo
