"The problems of language here are really serious. We wish to speak in some way about the structure of the atoms. But we cannot speak about atoms in ordinary language."

Werner Heisenberg, German Physicist

Atoms, Language, Problems

"You may have heard the world is made up of atoms and molecules, but it's really made up of stories. When you sit with an individual that's been here, you can give quantitative data a qualitative overlay."

William Turner, British Scientist

Atoms, May, World

"The emitters of the spectral series are without exception single atoms, not compounds of atoms."

Johannes Stark, German Physicist

Atoms,

"We may say that a basic substance is one which has a lone pair of electrons which may be used to complete the stable group of another atom, and that an acid is one which can employ a lone pair from another molecule in completing the stable group of one of its own atoms."

Gilbert Newton Lewis, American Scientist

Atoms, May

"For under certain conditions the chemical atoms emit light waves of a specific length or oscillation frequency - their familiar characteristic spectra - and these can come in the form of electromagnetic waves only from accelerated electric quanta."

Johannes Stark, German Physicist

Atoms, Light

"Nanotechnology is manufacturing with atoms."

William Powell, American Actor

Atoms, Manufacturing

"The atoms become like a moth, seeking out the region of higher laser intensity."

Steven Chu, American Scientist

Atoms,

"The mind of man has perplexed itself with many hard questions. Is space infinite, and in what sense? Is the material world infinite in extent, and are all places within that extent equally full of matter? Do atoms exist or is matter infinitely divisible?"

James C. Maxwell, Scottish Mathematician

Atoms, Infinite, Man, Mind

"After realizing that we would eventually be able to build molecular machines that could arrange atoms to form virtually any pattern that we wanted, I saw that an awful lot of consequences followed from that."

K. Eric Drexler, American Scientist

"It is more likely that more than a century will pass before we know the structure of the chemical atoms as thoroughly as we do our solar system."

"As you lecture, you keep watching the faces, and information keeps coming back to you all the time."

Time

"It's not good enough to give it tender, loving care, to supply it with breakfast foods, to buy it expensive educations. Those things don't mean anything unless this generation has a future. And we're not sure that it does."

Care

"I tell my students to try to know molecules, so well that when they have some question involving molecules, they can ask themselves, What would I do if I were that molecule?"

Question

"A scientist should be the happiest of men."

Men

"There's life all over this universe, but the only life in the solar system is on earth, and in the whole universe we are the only men."

Life

"The concept of war crimes is an American invention."

War

"All War Departments are now Defense Departments. This is all part of the doubletalk of our time. The aggressor is always on the other side."
