I hope this technology leads to synthetic fuel to run our transportation system.

God may be 1-dimensional oscillating strings of eternal existence. God may be the love song of existence.

[One Name]

God spoke the oscillating strings into existence, if they be the mechanics of they universe. He is not the string(s).

IMHO.

Atomic force microscopy

Wikipedia is OK if it isn't political, IMHO.

[jonrick46]

Then they are his instrument for the song of existence.

It is positively amazing how much those old time physicists and chemists got right, with nothing more than pieces of paper and equations.

I was thinking the same thing. What they were doing is coming up with an appropriate way to model molecules. To finally go down and see that level and think, yeah, we thought it would look pretty much like that, is astounding.

[One Name]

I can subscribe to that- the similarity between a leaf and a snakes pattern and insects tells me they all had the same Designer.

Beautiful! Thank you for posting this!

The name’s Bond...Atomic Bond.

Soon, perhaps, these types of tests will lead to actually nano-engineering materials on a molecule-by-molecule basis.

Room temperature superconductors, computers that will make todays machines look like etch-a-sketches, materials that are thousands, perhaps even millions of times stronger and lighter than anything we know now, insulation, the mind boggles at the possibilities...

Thanks GeronL.

We really do create Him in our image. My own take is that the universe is God’s mind.

The photo looks just like the schematic.

The photo reminds me of the Star of David.
