So it's galaxies all the way down?

And all the way up!

There are organisms for whom our galaxies are seen as cells.

This is just really neat. Keep up the good work, scientists!

One step closer to teleporters

Screw teleporters, I want replicators

Aww, that guy's kinda cute, why wouldn't I want to let it live in my house with its pals?

I’ve been watching SG1 for the first time and recently watched this episode. Buckets of fun!

All of the above and holodecks please

Is there much difference between the two logistically? Seems like the replicator is just the second half of a transporter.

rockSlayer @lemmy.world - 1.3yr

Well there's an episode in ds9 where a replicator is modified into a teleporter, so in the star trek universe they're very similar. Replicators reconstitute matter from waste material, and seems to me to be far more likely in the realm of scientific possibility.

SpaceNoodle @lemmy.world - 1.3yr

Yeah, I suppose replicators are an inevitable punctuated step on the way.

It's incredible that we can actually 'see' the atomic lattice and it's also pretty wicked that the oxygen atom is more 'fuzzy' because, I think given the explanation on how they imaged this, it's less dense than praseodymium and scandium.

how do they achieve higher resolutions than with former electron microscopes.

mriormro @lemmy.world - 1.3yr

They use a technique called ptychography. They explain it a bit more in the article.

bungalowtill @lemmy.dbzer0.com - 1.3yr

The way they describe it in the article is how I understand a electron microscope works
