This is truly wondrous. The basic element of all life finally captured in way that’s identifiable! This remarkable photo of a SINGLE ATOM (trapped by electric fields) has just been awarded the top prize in a well-known science photography competition. The photo is titled “Single Atom in an Ion Trap” and was shot by David Nadlinger at the University of Oxford in England. (For the record it’s a single positively-charged strontium atom)
