Scientists have captured the first ever footage of atoms bonding at a scale around half a million times smaller than the width of a human hair.
Using advanced microscopy methods, the team of UK and German researchers captured the breaking of a chemical bond between two rhenium atoms.
The video shows the two atoms to the left of the footage, between 0.1 and 0.3 nanometres, appearing as black blobs as they bond and break.
Atoms are ‘the building blocks of the world’ and the matter around us is made up of layers and layers of atoms – unless they’re a single-layer material like graphene.

Rhenium has 75 protons. The two most common isotope are RE 185 and RE 187.

Interesting that it looks just like an atom in the classical sense. No weird behavior such as electron orbital shells, quantum shifts in orbitals, probabilistic nature of particles, heisenberg, etc.

Now if they can just get a picture of a row of palladium atoms with a couple of deuterium atoms held in a little Gibbs-energy trap...

Lol. Making more tadpoles... the Tadpole Theory.

I don’t trust atoms.
They make up everything.

It would probably be classified.

Yup.
At least we now have visual proof of the breadth of scruples possessed by Atom Schiff.
