It's incredible the captured atom, personally I never thought about that !!
I think the world is full of scientific images and videos, I will offer you a video that I find unimaginable.

According to an article I read about the subject after reading your post, the partiucule was held between two electrodes spaced only two millimeters, it could not afford to our eyes without the help of special conditions. Only a pressure several billion times lower than that of the atmosphere and an extremely low temperature made it possible to obtain this photo, winner of the grand prize of the photo competition organized by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

Decrypting such a photo is a priori not easy. And yet, the game is worth the candle: in the center of the cliché hides an incredible element. Discreet but yet there, a tiny particle proudly sits in the middle of the image: a strontium atom.

If you look closer, you end up seeing it. A zoom on the photo can approach it, it sits among a weave of threads, connections and precision machined parts. These elements constitute the incredible device which made it possible to give birth to the cliché of this positively charged atom.

My contribution in the technology issue for this week is to propose a video about quantum physics that shows the behavior of particles in the presence of a measuring device. it's really amazing and leads us to think about the impact of this on our lives.
