It is pretty amazing ... The picture of a molecule. It may not seem like much, but my mind boggle it did, to paraphrase Yoda. What will we be able to photograph in fifty years? Atoms? Electrons? And what about the microworld that surrounds us? Will we in the future discover individual features in bacteria? Will we get familiar and personal with virus as individuals, give them names, develop emotional responses to their life and death, like we do with other creatures we study? "This is Jimmy, he's a middelaged e.coli who has been to Italy, but now he's back in Norway. Here he is in Gudrun, a web-designer from Fauske, who met him in Milan."
Time will tell ...
