First ever image taken of a single atoms shadow.

It took Australian researchers five years to come up with a way to get the photo. In the end they used an atom of Ytterbium, cooled to just a few thousands of a degree above absolute zero, in an ion trap.

On a conceptual level, this is obviously totally cool, but there are a bunch of practical things associated with this research too. For example, using shadows to measure the locations of atoms and molecules is much less damaging and invasive than other imaging techniques, and it could be a way to track the behavior of biological samples (like DNA) without shredding them like X-rays and UV rays do.

Denbigh is another abandoned asylum in England. It was built in the mid to late 1840s and closed for good in 1995. The land owner has left the building to decay.

‎”Genghis Khan born Temüjin and occasionally known by his temple name Taizu (太祖), was the founder and Great Khan (emperor) of the Mongol Empire. The Secret History of the Mongols reports that Temüjin was born with a blood clot grasped in his fist, a traditional sign that he was destined to become a great leader. Temujin’s mother Olen taught him many lessons, especially the need for alliances. He came to power by creating a unified confederation from the tribes of northeast Asia. After founding the Mongol Empire and being proclaimed ‘Genghis Khan,’ he administered the Mongol invasions that resulted in the conquest of most of Eurasia. His descendants went on to extend the Mongol Empire which spans the Caspian Sea to the west, the Strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Sea to the south, the Sea of Japan to the east, and across most of Eurasia, the Middle East, and South Asia by conquering and/or creating vassal states out of India, Korea, the Caucasus, Central Asian countries, and substantial portions of modernday Eastern Europe, Turkey, Russia, Persia, and the Middle East. In the Middle East and Iran, he is almost universally looked on as a destructive warlord who caused enormous damage and destruction to the population of these areas. In much of Russia, Middle East, Korea, Ukraine, Poland, and Hungary, Genghis Khan is credited with considerable damage, destruction, and loss of population. Mongols destroyed and annihilated all of the major cities of Eastern Europe. Present-day Mongolians regard him as the founding father of Mongolia. Today, the population of the Khan Dynasty is substantial with descendants stretching to the four corners of the earth.”

On this day in history:

Night of the Long Knives

From 30 June through 2 July 1934, under the orders of Adolf Hitler, Ernst Roehm, along with other leaders of the Nazi paramilitary organization, the Sturmabteilungen (SA), were purged, a task given to the SS. The Night of the Long Knives was also an opportunity for Nazi leaders to purge political enemies from the right.  The purge enabled the NSDAP to form an agreement with the German army, the Reichswehr, so that Hitler could declare himself Führer of Germany after President Hindenburg’s death, and attain absolute power.
