    The team created 242 still images with 65 carbon monoxide molecules. The images were combined to make a stop-motion film. [7] Each frame measures 45 by 25 nanometers. [5] It took four researchers two weeks of 18-hour days to produce the film. [6] The graphics and sound effects resemble those of early video games.

  3. Cosmic microwave background - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_microwave_background

    When the CMB photons became free to travel unimpeded, ordinary matter in the universe was mostly in the form of neutral hydrogen and helium atoms. However, observations of galaxies today seem to indicate that most of the volume of the intergalactic medium (IGM) consists of ionized material (since there are few absorption lines due to hydrogen ...

  4. IBM (atoms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_(atoms)

    "IBM" spelled out using 35 xenon atoms. IBM in atoms was a demonstration by IBM scientists in 1989 of a technology capable of manipulating individual atoms. [1] A scanning tunneling microscope was used to arrange 35 individual xenon atoms on a substrate of chilled crystal of nickel to spell out the three letter company initialism. It was the ...

  5. Atomic mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_mass

    Alternately, the atomic mass of a carbon-12 atom may be expressed in any other mass units: for example, the atomic mass of a carbon-12 atom is 1.992 646 882 70 (62) × 10 −26 kg. As is the case for the related atomic mass when expressed in daltons , the relative isotopic mass numbers of nuclides other than carbon-12 are not whole numbers, but ...

  6. Isotopes of carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_carbon

    Carbon (6 C) has 14 known isotopes, from 8 C to 20 C as well as 22 C, of which 12 C and 13 C are stable. The longest-lived radioisotope is 14 C, with a half-life of 5.70(3) × 10 3 years. This is also the only carbon radioisotope found in nature, as trace quantities are formed cosmogenically by the reaction 14 N + n → 14 C + 1 H. The most ...

    Detail of anthropogenic carbon flows, showing cumulative mass in gigatons during years 1850–2018 (left) and the annual mass average during 2009–2018 (right). [ 114 ] The largest and one of the fastest growing human impacts on the carbon cycle and biosphere is the extraction and burning of fossil fuels , which directly transfer carbon from ...

  8. Mass spectrometry imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_spectrometry_imaging

    More, this technique is widely regarded as one of the most sensitive forms of mass spectrometry as it can detect elements in concentrations as small as 10 12-10 16 atoms per cubic centimeter. [11] [note 1] [note 2] Multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) is a SIMS method that uses metal isotope labeled antibodies to label compounds in biological ...

  9. Carbon-12 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-12

    Carbon-12 is of particular importance in its use as the standard from which atomic masses of all nuclides are measured, thus, its atomic mass is exactly 12 daltons by definition. Carbon-12 is composed of 6 protons , 6 neutrons , and 6 electrons .
