Without interfering or getting dragged into this conversation.

Since 2023, we’ve had attosecond lasers, which means we can now photograph atoms splitting.

Whether they’ve done this or not yet is another question.

Great find. I did some short research and the devices look very interesting although nothing available to buy yet - there is an issue though - they don't photograph atoms- they provide spectroscopy images which are quite different from real Fotos produced by an electron microscope.

This would be a good start to get spectroscopy images at least to confirm the changes when atom splitting happens - I'm sure the science community is working on it πŸ˜‚

The inventors received a Nobel prize.

We can now see the electron spin around the nucleus, which I find incredible.

Fun fact, there are more attoseconds in a second than there have been seconds in the life of the universe.
