haritulsidas, 9 months ago The common picture of atoms as tiny balls with orbiting electrons is incorrect and misleading. According to quantum theory, atoms are more like fuzzy clouds of probability, challenging our intuitions and assumptions about reality. Due to the limitations of our language and logic in describing the atomic world, we need to embrace uncertainty and paradox. #atoms #quantum #reality https://aeon.co/essays/why-the-empty-atom-picture-misunderstands-quantum-theory?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FMind+and+Matter

amunizp, 9 months ago @haritulsidas Is that a colorised TEM image?
@haritulsidas
Is that a colorised TEM image?
haritulsidas, 9 months ago @amunizp Most likely. TEM images show a dark spot in the centre surrounded by a lighter halo. In this image, the big Nitrogen atom bonded to 3 smaller Hydrogen atoms can be seen.
