It's by definition possible because... David's done it. The dummy in the space is jealous. "blip blop already replaced".

I saw this news on my twitter feed and thought - I know that name from Dlang. I don't know you personally but I have a background in material science. Very well done!

Congratulations! But I've been wondering something: Obviously atoms are not this large, so what are we seeing in that photograph? atom motion-blur? This article notes that the electrodes are 2 mm apart: https://qz.com/1205279/photo-of-an-atom-a-scientist-captured-an-incredible-photograph/ Zooming in on the photo there, let's say the atom takes up 1/20th of the width, so that would put it at 100 micrometers, or 1 million Angstroms. This site says the width of a Strontium atom is 4.38 Angstroms, likely measured by packing a bunch into solid form: http://periodictable.com/Properties/A/AtomicRadius.v.html So yeah, it looks 250,000 times bigger than you'd expect, probably because of all kinds of effects like the light spreading out, the limited resolution of the camera's sensor, and motion of the atom.

"Shoulders of giants" or not, that is *seriously* cool. How many people can say they did that? :) Not only that, it's a damn cool-looking image overall, too! I'd be fascinated to read more about how this was done, and the "back-of-the-envelope calculation showed the numbers to be on my side".
