In more ways than one -

One of the comments claims it has been dome before, I haven't seen anything recently to compare though.

Well, I confess to a barbaric insensitivity to what I am seeing. Having nothing to compare the reality to, the image looks like some kind of illuminated stub of hexagonal sections, suspiciously close to the 19th century hypothesized shape. I have a challenge relating it to anything in the real world, other than maybe another hoax. What's it for, I have to ask?…

You need this gear to see the next to be released scale of miniatures. At only 2 nanometers tall, you can fit the entirety of WWII on your thumbnail!

Wow. That is very, very cool. Thanks for posting. It is a staggering achievement.

Couldn't they at least have focused a bit better?

I vaguely remember something similar a number of years ago, but nonetheless, this is still really cool – thanks goragrad Supporting Member of TMP Fezian

Nigerian OM – Ha ha ha, that's great, grin

Doug, yes, molecular physics is a conspiracy. If you could really see that small, you'd just see god.

Gungnir – (assuming you weren't just taking the Bleeped text – if so, forgive me since it's still early-ish here) Nope, since it's not visible light and the "haze" is probably best thought of as being like the "white" rush you get in a waterfall. (The "white haze" is the region the electrons move around in.)

Tim, nice jab. But the funny thing is you are right: because "God" is not contained or measured in any way by space-time….
