Details


The diameter of an atom is 10^-7 mm. 1 pixel is 0.1 to 0.5mm for an average screen. So 10^6 or 1,000,000 atoms will fit in a single pixel. Obviously, it will be impossible to see one. [more]

Woah thats amazing

ARGH! Where be it?! I cannae see it through me one eye!

c**p, I was wiping away dust on my monitor, and I think I took the atom with it!

Awesome!

it's a tad too big on my 99"
wilt (15" monitor)
It doesn't quite match up... perhaps this is a thorium atom?

i actually had this hooked up on me 50" tv and there actually isnt anything on here, and there cant be because the smallest dot is called a pixel, and even that is too big compare to an atom
Max (19" monitor)
Perfect
I AM 12 (17" monitor)
AND WHAT IS THIS

acctualy it is 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
lol (22" monitor)
there is there thus it is too small
lol (22" monitor)
there is nothing there thus it is too small srry
KT (19" monitor)
my atoms smaller than yours.
KT (19" monitor)
my other atoms bigger. :P
Potato Face McDougleBerry (19" monitor)
No, no thats not right...
We'll have to measure again but according to me and my colleagues measurements that atom is nowhere near the actual size....
It is about a quarter of a nanometer too big...
Anonymous (17" monitor)
That is right! PERFECT!
Anonymous (17" monitor)
Wait no, I meant to say... it's a little to big! Or A LOT too big really.
Anonymous (14" monitor)
screw this it's too big
me (15" monitor)
It's the size of my hand! I guess it's perfect then, wait is it a Helium atom, or a water atom? (jk with the water atom thing, H20 and magnesium forevah!)
Anon (15" monitor)
I see the mostly empty space part of the atom!
tgvsdgnbfgo hi!!! (35" monitor)
Dude Perfect!!!!
lol (17" monitor)
wot type of atom is it coz some r different dencitys and sizes
lol (17" monitor)
imm on google chrome nt mozzila

perfect

I like pie!
derpderpderp (17" monitor)
It's too small
lol (14" monitor)
it works alright coz u cant se atoms with a microscope lol
Antagonist (10000" monitor)
Hmmmmm........ive seen bigger atoms.:(
nuggetman (24" monitor)
if you put ur monitor size on 0.001'' u can see its a picture of an xbox!

Held my atom up to the screen, perfect fit!
Anonymous (99999" monitor)
its accurate ;D
lol (17" monitor)
lol!
Steven (19" monitor)
fits perfectly for me...I dunno what you are talking about...
Aya (24" monitor)
its too big
={ (99999" monitor)
it doesnt show up on my 100k inch screen =[
DrP (15" monitor)
You don't really need to see an real size atom in the computer, just look around you.
alec (15" monitor)
I CANT SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T_T
DOUGHNUTZ!! (4" monitor)
Huh, seems right. Btw, grow up #51.
Saj (12" monitor)
Bit too big? Isn't it ?
Janet (15" monitor)
lolol i showed this to my friend and he was like "oh i see it!" lolol whatta retard!!!
y (19" monitor)
hahahh you guys are funny (or stupid)
omg (16" monitor)
OK, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! LIKE WAAAAAAY TOO BIG 4 MY SCREEN. ALL I CAN SEE IS SOME RANDOM THING, LIKE A BALL JUST WHIZZING ROUND!! WTF?
Bunty Hoven (17" monitor)
Mine is a tad larger.
Rip-sap-dipple-boddle-neese (17" monitor)
OMG its the exact same size!
Awesome (17" monitor)
omgggg pplz u r all making me laugh ha a ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha i cant even see anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JuJu (16" monitor)
Oh aren't you smart.
Bill (20" monitor)
How can you render such an image if an atom is who knows how many times smaller than an individual pixel?
Errr (4" monitor)
Da f**k?
@humph (15" monitor)
I wonder
lexii <3 (16" monitor)
lol these people are TROLLS BAHAHAH
katehj (16" monitor)
Its correct, i looked at it on my 2,500,500 inch sreen and saw a black dot
Ethan (16" monitor)
... Wow
randomness (19" monitor)
it's a bit too small...
webhenyo.com (14" monitor)
i placed an atom beside it and discovered they really have the same size. I even showed it to the the people outside our house, they agreed.

Conclusion: This is accurate, 100% accurate.
Instagram Aj_Random (10" monitor)
Hahaha this is d u m b but funny
Person (16" monitor)
You can see the atoms in this video:
http://www.physics.berkeley.edu/research/zettl/projects/graphenehole/hole.html

As well as this image:
https://lh3.ggpht.com/_Jx78YcF-F8U/TO6kPTHxy-I/AAAAAAAADtk/Nfuyi-c4ZmU/s1600/Real_graphene.jpg

These don't use Light to take the image. (Light is more difficult at those resolutions). They use electrons instead. These ones are from one the most powerful electron microscopes in the world. They are of Graphene.

You don't really see the "solid" part of the atom you just the cloud of electrons orbiting it as well as the bonds formed by the electrons.

Hmm it's a little bit too big just tested it

Owen Versteeg (13" monitor)
a bit big on my 13.3" Ideapad Yoga, probably off by .001nm or so
Hunter (21" monitor)
just a little to big. make it about .0000236 nm smaller, and ur golden ;)

Where's the flux capacitor?

Oh, it's so cute
John Swan Swagliner (16" monitor)
Within the accepted tolerance values of the size of atoms, this is pretty spot on
