Unlike haemoglobin, which has an atom of iron at its centre, haemaurin contains an atom of gold.
Instead of making wholesale changes to a compound, he usually alters one atom at a time.
In the experiment at Bonn, the researchers fired two lasers in sequence at a single atom of cesium, moving it to the left or right.
MSN: Franken-Physics: Atoms split in two �� and put back together
By tuning the laser very precisely to the frequency of one particular sort of bond (such as that with a heavy carbon atom at one end), a molecule containing that bond can be shaken up.
The diminutive laptop will feature that Intel N270 Atom CPU (at 1.6GHz) we've already heard about, an 8.9-inch SWVGA display, 512MB of RAM, a 4GB SSD, and will apparently utilize a Linux build.

That model is the best explanation out there for what happens at scales smaller than the atom, but still has a lot of holes in it, and there are other theories out there that go beyond that model.
And many of these samples we study literally at the atomic, single-atom level.
While the slightly faster clock speed may be a nice bragging right, at the end of the day Atom N470-based netbooks are still, well, netbooks.
But eventually, each atom encounters a plate at a temperature lower than its boiling point, at which point it sticks to the plate, just as water freezes when poured on to dry-ice.
Light ones are more easily deflected than heavy ones, so the two forms of carbon get separated, and when each atom reaches a detector at its expected arrival spot, it can be counted.
Intel just outed its new Atom SoC, and at its tablet event in San Francisco today, the company had a whole slew of slates packing the Clover Trail silicon on hand.
ENGADGET: ZTE shows off new V98 Windows 8 slate, we go hands-on
We had a feeling we'd be hearing about Intel's Atom for smartphones here at Mobile World Congress, and Intel did in fact take the stage today to talk about its forthcoming Medfield processor.

Intel announced a new version of its low-end Atom microprocessor, but aimed at the market for tablet computers, as well as for a new generation of netbook computers that are even lighter than the ones being sold today.
It's a much lighter product, at 1.3 pounds (down from 1.58), and although it uses a heavier-duty Atom processor, battery life is said to top out at about 10 hours. (The original lasted eight in our usual test.) Like the OG version, it allows for pen input on select models, but of course, Windows comes ready-made with a larger selection of apps where a pen might actually be useful.
To some it might have seemed at odds with the new era of the atom bomb and jet-powered flight.
The researchers caught an intermediate step in the process by which hydrogen is removed from tryptamine, namely the point at which a proton disappears from a carbon atom as the carbon-hydrogen bond breaks.
Northwestern University spin-out QuesTek Innovations has demonstrated impressive atom-by-atom computer modeling techniques to engineer alloys at the nanoscale and reduce the use of critical elements.

We already knew MSI's Atom N280-powered Wind U123 netbook was grabbing placeholders at e-tailers across the web, but now we're assured that they're actually shipping to eager Americans.
ENGADGET: MSI's Wind U123 now shipping in US, U123H and U123T still on hold
Researchers at Griffith University have managed to snap the first image of a single atom's shadow and, while the dark spot may be physically small, the implications for the field of quantum computing are huge.
ENGADGET: Researchers capture a single atom's shadow, has implications for quantum computers
Physicists at the University of New South Wales have created a transistor composed of a single atom, which is an amazing feat of nanoengineering, and could provide a better foundation for scalable quantum computing.
At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the company on Monday is unveiling a deal to supply Atom processors for Android-based smartphones to be sold by Orange in both the U.K. and France.
FORBES: Intel Inks Deal With Orange For Atom-Based Smartphones
It emerged that in her capacity as a secretary at the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association in London, she had photographed documents on the British atom bomb and passed them on to the KGB.
That means its nucleus has a stronger positive charge and that, in turn, means the electrons orbiting the nucleus are more attracted to it and travel faster, at roughly 60% of the speed of light, compared with 35% for the electrons orbiting a tin atom.
