Amazing stuff.

THIS (click) blows my feeble mind.

Not being a science type, I just never thought they actually looked like the models. They do!

These links usually lead to some good lookin' chick in a bikini, what happened?

 

[wfooshee]

You hve to zoom back for that. WAY back!

OK, no where'd I put my glasses.....

Looks like the headlights that were coming at me in '80 when I was tripping on Mescaline and driving down a divided road in Boston the wrong way.

You'll have to buy me a beer to hear how I lived to tell the tale.

But it is a cool picture. Never thought some things would advance in my lifetime the way they have. I remember thinking electron microscope pictures were way cool... now they are old school...

I can't wait.

I got lost after this statement. :dribble:

image ever of an individual molecule using non-contact atomic force microscopy. Performed in an ultrahigh vacuum at 5 degrees Kelvin,

This may be picking at nits but you talk about thermodynamic temperatures as, for example, 5 Kelvin. You don't say degrees (this was changed around 1980.) FWIW

DUH

(I don't know what the hell that all means either, I just took it out of the comments below the article. I'm a window licker in this situation too)

It's also bull.

I work in cryogenics (liquid helium temps) and we say "degrees Kelvin" all the time.

Sounds like just another one of those academic dweebs showing off...

Interesting image. I guess you can't call it a photograph since it wasn't created by capturing light energy. More of a sensor map image.

I stared at the image in the article for 20 minutes, and I swear it was moving...

Really weird.

Look closer. You'll see

There's yer molecule.

Geeze Fred, posts like this just warm my heart -- to at least 16 degrees Kelvin. Indeed, in the semiconductor field we also say degrees Kelvin because we also do Kelvin probing in our electronic testing. Sometimes we go totally wild and say Kelvin Scale too. Every now and again we run into some renegade that deals in the Rankine scale. Our He cryo pumps operate at ~ 4.2° Kelvin. Notice that I didn't say degrees, I used the symbol that was formerly known as degree

In our engineering development work we used scanning tunneling microscopy to view the results of ion implantation within the crystalline silicon lattice. It lets us see the ions that have covalently bonded with the silicon and the depth of implantation :evo:

 

[Fred W]

Yeah... that. :dribble:

We just get wires really, really cold so they will conduct electricity without any voltage applied. We probably use the same 4K cryo pump technology in our application. Sumitomo?

...and we say degrees with reckless abandon.

Shiny, I also want to hear about the Mescaline / Boston story. I'll then tell you about drinking mezcal with Nahuatl Indians in La Libertad in the Mexican State of Sonora. Local slang for this hallucinatory beverage along our common border with Mexico here in Arizona is "bacanora"! Come on Old Michael, you must have a "poteen" story you can tell your compadres!!!

 

[Big Shasta]

Wow, I never realized how many nerds there are here. Rock on my nerdy FJR friends. Nerds rule the world!

Well, according to this thread, nerds not only rule the world, they ride FJRs.

 

[Fred W]

Absolutely.

Who do you suppose thinks up all these whiz bang electronic farkleations? That's right, they're all Nerds!

You've done psychotomimetics as well I see.
