The Atom Catchers

This is going to have big implications...to be able to interrupt the doings of God on an atomic level and think that nothing will happen reactively...

"'University of Otago scientists have made a 'major physics breakthrough' with the development of a technique to consistently isolate and capture a fast-moving single atom.

A team of four researchers from the university's physics department are believed to be the first to isolate and photograph the Rubidium 85 atom.'

Good to see Kiwis following in Rutherford's footsteps."
