Understanding Quantum Mechanics in the Shadow of a Single Atom
During November's GC Skeptics in the Pub, Dr Eric Streed from Griffith University tells us about how his team took the first ever photo of a shadow of an atom. While this is amazing in itself (I mean it's a freakin' atom! And we humans not only took a photo of it but also it's shadow!), one may wonder "what's the point?". Well, these kinds of activities have further out understanding of quantum mechanics which have direct applications in computing and increasing computing sec
