Did you know we're essentially all #STARS? That is to say, we’re actually the children of stars!
How does it feel to have stars for parents?

Big ThinkHow humanity discovered we're all made of "star stuff"Carl Sagan wasn't the first to declare we are the children of ancient stars — the idea has roots in ancient debates.
90% of the atoms in our bodies were forged in stars - elements like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and iron. The remaining 10% comes from the Big Bang - the universe's first moments which created the lightest elements, hydrogen and helium.
Thanks for sharing, Professor Erika Hamden!
Atom arrays
Scientists have developed ways of trapping atoms and arranging them in space using laser beams (such as “optical tweezers” and “optical lattices”). What can one do using these tools? One possibility is arranging the atoms in a regular array.
Why people find it interesting? It was found that such systems have properties much different than clouds of atoms randomly flying around. The lattice structure changes how the atoms emit and absorb light. This is because light emitted from different atoms can interfere, and a regular structure of array works like a diffraction grating. This happens especially if the distance between atoms is smaller than one wavelength.
For example, a 1D chain of atoms in a certain state emits light only on its ends. And a 2D array can act as a perfect mirror (for certain wavelength), even though it is only one atom thin.
It was theoretically shown that these effects can be used to boost the efficiency of optical quantum devices such as memories and gates, which may be used in the future for a “quantum internet” and quantum computers.

This is lots of fun. ‘Uncleftish Beholding’ is a 1989 attempt to explain ‘Atomic Theory’ without using words that come to English from Latin, French or Greek roots.
It reimagines English as Germanic: ‘uncleft’ is ‘atom’ etc.

Absolutely fascinating. Is consciousness more pervasive like gravity? Short watch by Annaka Harris.

In 1913, Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr described the structure of the atom, a cloud of electrons buzzing about an extremely small and heavy nucleus. #Poetry #Science #History #Physics #Atoms #Rutherford #Bohr (https://sharpgiving.com/thebookofscience/items/p1913.html)

The actual quote is as follows:
"To begin with, for you to be here now trillions of drifting atoms had somehow to assemble in an intricate and curiously obliging manner to create you. It’s an arrangement so specialized and particular that it has never been tried before and will only exist this once."
