How is this possible? For an atom to stand out, are all the atoms around the area cleared out using electricity so it’s pure, empty space? Is that possible? Also, as other people mentioned, I imagined atoms to be MUCH smaller in scale than anything like what seems to be visible here.



My guess is they made that atom very, very, very bright, among other things...But I'm no scientist
