"He’d built an atomic force microscope," Krause recalls. "When he saw his first atom, he called me down to take a look. It was gold, I believe, but just seeing an individual atom was what was exciting. Atomic theory was no longer a concept to me, but tangible reality. I’d seen it with my own eyes. Such moments change the way one thinks about the universe." more >>> Wabash Wakes Up for Transit of Venus By Steve Charles Transits of Venus across the disk of the Sun are among the rarest of planetary alignments, and a small group of Wabash students, faculty, and friends were determined not to miss this one.
