Cover detail from "All About the Atom" by Ira Freeman. Published by Random House, First edition (1955)
A commercially available ‘atom interferometer’ – exploiting clouds of ultra-cold atoms to make extremely precise measurements of variations in local gravity – on show during ESA’s inaugural Quantum Technology workshop.
“We’ve been looking at applying the latest quantum technology to space,” explains ESA’s Bruno Leone. “Quantum physics is still regarded as abstract, but products based on its effects are commonplace today, such as microprocessors, solid-state imaging devices and lasers.
“What we’re interested in harnessing more advanced, subtle, aspects of quantum mechanics, including superposition and entanglement, made feasible by recent advances in experimental techniques and equipment.”
This desk-sized atom interferometer, produced by M Squared in the UK, is one example. Finely tuned laser beams confine clumps of atoms kept cooled close to absolute zero. Like ripples meeting on a pond, their resulting interference patterns can highlight tiny changes in the surrounding environment.
Topics at last week’s event included ultra-accurate quantum-based measuring devices and clocks for space and wider commercialisation of the underlying technologies.
Also discussed was ‘quantum teleportation’: in 2012 ESA’s observatory in the Canary Islands helped to set a distance world record by reproducing the characteristics of a light particle across 143 km of open air.

DC's Ray Palmer, aka the Atom, held by Superman. Atom's superpower is.. he shrinks. Paint and decals applied to one of those trophy parts. Tiny, tiny decals.
#1 of 2. Sloppier paint job on this one.
This is Nightly News at 9, the only news you'll ever need! Tonight, we have a special report. Children across America are gathering to... THIS JUST IN! The Atom.... the Atom? The Atom, has just burned down a building. Yes, that's right people. The Atom has burnt down a building. The police say it was due to playing with an uncontrollable penguin holding coffee. Really? Wow.
Somewhere across town...
"I swear to Moses I'm innocent!" screamed the Atom.
"Tell it to the judge." said the cop who did important stuff.
"But, I'm a super hero?"
"Yeah. You're on of those freaks."
"AM NOT!"
"You just burnt a building down with a penguin."
"Yeah, I'll get in the car."
Atom looked to see his sidekick, Atomic Boy (even though he wasn't a boy, and was just some guy he met in the supermarket) being forced into a cop car.
This wasn't how today was supposed to go. I had dinner reservations. Sorry, right, narration.
Earlier that day... who comes up with these phrases, they suck.
"Atomic Boy.."
"Bill."
"Atomic Boy, what I'm about to show you, is pure magic."
"What's with the parka hood?"
"I just got back from Antarctica. Got myself a penguin."
"A penguin?"
"The one and only.... ATOMIC FLIPPERS!"
"What?"
"I call him Sparky."
"But.. Atomic Flipppers?"
"Oh, that was Seinfeld's idea."
"Who?"
"Wow, you really aren't caught up."
"I'm so confused..."
"You're in an Atom story, what did you expect?"
Just then a very cute penguin waddled into the the room.
"Sparky!"
"Atomic Flippers?" Atomic Boy was very confused.
The penguin had a backpack on. With it was a little arm attached... holding a cup of coffee. It was drinking it too.
"Atomic Boy, meet Atomic Flippers, aka Sparky."
"Hello, I is Sparky." the penguin announced.
"You got that in Antarctica?"
"Hell yeah I got it in Antarctica!"
"And it... TALKS?"
"Well, I wouldn't go as far as saying literary, but yeah!"
"This, is nice window, have thee." Sparky replied.
"Sparky, make me a latte, and fast." Ray ordered.
"Latte, cooking. Beep. Beep. Beep...."
"Isn't he great!"
"Uh, I could have made you a latte..." Atomic Boy (I mean Bill) said.
"Shut up Atomic Boy. This is the beginning of a great friendship."
"Latte, ready."
"Well, bring it over, I'm not coming to get it."
The penguin waddled around trying to get to Ray. However, he tripped on one of the cables coming from the T.V.
(Please, imagine the next 3 lines are in slow motion)
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Ray screamed.
"HE FELL RIGHT NEAR THE CABLES THERE COULD BE A FIRE!" Atomic Boy yelled.
"Oh, nooooooooo, hey everybodies, look a seinfeld."
The whipped coffee reached the floor. Miraculously, it didn't hit the cables.
"That was close." said Atomic Boy.
"Nah, I would've gotten us out of here safely if anything happened..." Ray answered.
Just then, the coffee burst into flames.
"WHAT THE S*#%?"
"RAY YOU F*&%^$# IDIOT!"
"I is a penguno."
Fire trucks could be heard coming down the street.
"THIS IS BAD RAY!"
"YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?"
"I DON'T KNOW YOU ARE A VERY QUESTIONABLE PERSON!!!"
"SAYS THE GUY AT THE SUPERMARKET WHO JUST HAPPENED TO FALL INTO MY WHITE VAN!"
"YOU PUSHED ME IN THAT VAN!"
"kidnapping and getting in are one in the same...."
Just then the room burst into flames.
"Quick out the window!" Atomic Boy yelled.
"WAIT! My complete collection of Seinfeld shows!"
"GET IT LATER!"
Is he mad?
"IM GETTING IT NOW!"
"RAY YOU'LL DIE!"
"WHY DO YOU CARRREEEE!"
"GET THE DISCS AND LETS GO!"
"actually they're on VHS..."
"RAY!"
"ugh. fine. coming... stupid sidekick... getting in my business.."
They jumped out the window, all the while Atomic Boy held Sparky, and Ray held his collection of VHS tapes. Cops surrounded them.
"You have the right to remain silent!"
"Well... this should be interesting" Ray said.

Thank you Levi for the idea of a newscaster in my story.. I saw yours on Deadpool and thought it would be a fun way to introduce the story.
How atoms interact and behave is common high-school knowledge, but what we know is based on assumptions or snapshots. Electron microscopes have taken images of atoms so we know how they settle, but we have never recorded atoms moving.
The ESA–Roscosmos Plasma Kristall-4 (PK-4) experiment is recreating atomic interactions in a fluid on a larger scale on the International Space Station. The proxy atoms in PK-4 are microparticles, which are suspended and charged in plasma (an ionised gas with electrons and ions). The microparticles interact with each other via the high electrical charges, forming a strongly coupled liquid or solid – a classical model system for condensed matter.
This image shows the typical purple glow of an argon plasma in the PK-4 hardware on Earth. Microparticles are introduced into the plasma to observe how they behave.
On Earth the particles are influenced by gravity but in space the particles will behave similarly to charged atoms in a fluid or crystal structure allowing researchers to understand better the hidden interactions of our world.
PK-4 is installed in the European Physiology Module on the European space laboratory Columbus and runs for up to four days, four times a year.

Set in the landscape of Pendle, the Atom was designed by Peter Meacock with Katarina Novomestska of Peter Meacock Projects. It was launched by Mayor of Pendle, Councillor George Adams with Anthony Wilson and designer Peter Meacock on 22 September 2006. The bronze-coated GRC (Glass Reinforced Concrete) structure provides both a work of art and a viewing point and shelter from which to enjoy the surrounding landscape.
Madre dal cuore atomico
Etna. A new paroxysmal activity that took place yesterday morning after the one in the afternoon at sunset on February 16th. As can be seen, this is the south-east crater from which a cloud of lava ash more than 1km high emerges.
Etna. Una nuova attività parossistica è avvenuta ieri mattina dopo quella del pomeriggio al tramonto del 16 febbraio. Da come si evince trattasi del cratere sud-est da cui emerge una nube di cenere lavica alta più di 1Km.
Pigge överlevaren, världen runt omkring briserar, det ser ut som en bomb går av bakom Pigge. Första ägarna dog, andra ägaren dog 3½ månad efter hon sålde Pigge till mig. Pigge still standing.
