Science Question of the Week

26th March 2012

 

As scientists, we are absolutely, 100% certain that our world is defined by atoms, incredibly small pieces of matter that interact with each other to make all known things in the universe, that give all things mass, and basically, are the reason for things existing.

But they’re incredibly small, and cannot be seen by the naked eye.


This week’s question: how can scientists know the structure of an atom, without ever being able to “see” one?
