Atoms of Sodium and Caesium combined in the lab to shock the world.

I'm still waiting for transparent aluminum.

Bitcoin is going to skyrocket!

The article isn't nearly as earth shattering as it's made out to be

They're just talking about unusual pairings of atoms to make new types of molecules

There are just new tools to do it with these days- 'laser tweezers' etc

No one is combining atoms to make new elements-- does not and can not happen

im not that knowledgeable in this can you explain in laymen terms?

That some funny(and creative) shit right there

Does this mean they can combine say zinc and Indium atoms creating one alloy atom equivalent to gold? same 79 protons.

Alchemy.

It's mostly bullshit.
Basically if you provide specific unnatural conditions and enough energy you can force things do to go into unnatural arrangements.
Hardly amazing and hardly stable

I'm still waiting for transparent aluminum.

Basically they have created an "Alloy" (combination material) out of 2 different elements that would normally not combine.

Taking that concept or process further it might be possible to create as many new combination materials as you could dream up, like say, Hydrogen copper, or Neon Helium.

Plus maybe a few useful ones, lol.

Now, sodium and cesium metals are pretty close to each other in their atomic structure, but if they could make close elements work, perhaps they could make not so close elements work as well.

Like say if they could take aluminum and combine that with say beryllium, they might be able to create a new molecular structured aluminum that would be supper strong, as strong as titanium, while retaining the lightness of aluminum.

Kind of like genetic engineering for materials.
