Now, these bonds between atoms, they're made of electrons.
Atoms use electrons like arms to reach out and hold their neighbors.
That's what we call a chemical reaction, when atoms exchange partners and make new molecules.
The backbone of epinephrine is made mostly of carbon atoms, and that's common.
She gave this majestic beast two chlorine atoms to wear like a pair of earrings.
I left out a lot today: phosphorus and sulfur and the other atoms, and why they all bond the way they do, and symmetry and non-bonding electrons, and atoms that are charged, and reactions and their mechanisms, and it goes on and on and on, and synthesis takes a long time to learn.
A drug is made up of a small molecule of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and a few other atoms all cobbled together in a shape, and it's those shapes that determine whether, in fact, that particular drug is going to hit its target.
When you have nanotechnology and nanoscience, what's occurred is that we're able to now look at atoms and molecules and actually control them for great benefits.
Do you want beautiful beaches, forests and lakes, or would you prefer to rearrange some of those atoms with the computers, enabling virtual experiences?
When this amino-acid sequence gets pronounced as atoms, these little letters are sticky for each other.
If the Higgs field were only a few times more intense, we would see atoms shrinking, neutrons decaying inside atomic nuclei, nuclei disintegrating, and hydrogen would be the only possible chemical element in the universe.
Most of the universe's matter is not made up of atoms.
And nearing the limit of our most powerful microscopes, single carbon atoms.
With the tip of a powerful microscope, we can actually move atoms and begin to create amazing nano devices.
The atoms that make up solids, liquids, and gases are moving all the time.
When atoms are moving more rapidly, we perceive that matter as hot.
So instead, scientists figured out a way to slow the atoms down directly – with a laser beam.
But used in a very precise way, the beam’s momentum can stall moving atoms, cooling them down.
Atoms are injected into a vacuum chamber, and a magnetic field draws them towards the center.
A total of six beams, in a perpendicular arrangement, ensure that atoms traveling in all directions will be intercepted.
At the center, where the beams intersect, the atoms move sluggishly, as if trapped in a thick liquid — an effect the researchers who invented it described as “optical molasses.”
A magneto-optical trap like this can cool atoms down to just a few microkelvins — about -273 degrees Celsius.
But why would you want to cool atoms down that much?
First of all, cold atoms can make very good detectors.
Secondly, cold atoms hold enormous potential for probing the frontiers of physics.
They’re also useful for the study of atomic and subatomic phenomena, which requires measuring incredibly tiny fluctuations in the energy of atoms.
Those are drowned out at normal temperatures, when atoms speed around at hundreds of meters per second.
Laser cooling can slow atoms to just a few centimeters per second— enough for the motion caused by atomic quantum effects to become obvious.
Ultracold atoms have already allowed scientists to study phenomena like Bose-Einstein condensation, in which atoms are cooled almost to absolute zero and become a rare new state of matter.
So as researchers continue in their quest to understand the laws of physics and unravel the mysteries of the universe, they’ll do so with the help of the very coldest atoms in it.
