To the ends of the universe
A student at the University of Oxford is recognized in the world of science photography for capturing a floating atom by itself with an ordinary camera. If you look very carefully you can barely make out a fuzzy dot between the electrodes
PhD candidate David Nadlinger photographed a glowing atom using an intricate web of laboratory machinery. The single strontium atom is illuminated by a laser while suspended in the air between two electrodes. Those two electrodes on either side of the tiny dot are only two millimeters apart.
Scientists have imaged the farthest measurable distances In the universe. Now the quest of universal bounds moves in the micro direction as we seek further knowledge.
It's a universall (pun intended) irony that mankind can reach such heights and still not be capable of governing our own planet in a sane way! we have a long way to go
The best that can be said is that our increase in knowledge can benefit our economies in commercial affluence and affiliate research!

Squinting Mike, I still do not see the fuzzy atom in the photo.
But this is an amazing achievement!
Mike, the most simple tasks in life are the most difficult.
