So, essentially you've got a positive ball which is identical to the size of the atom.

首先你要有一个和原子差不多大小的,带正电荷的球。

If we think of the size of a typical atom, we would say that would be about 10 to the negative 10 meters. So, we can see the diameter of a nucleus is absolutely smaller really concentrating that mass into a very small space.

一个普通细胞的大小，抱歉，我和细胞核搞混了0,如果我们考虑，一个普通原子的大小,这大概是10的负十次方米,所以原子核的直径确实非常小,真的是把质量。

So, this is exactly how Rutherford did discover that these particles were present and made this new model for the atom that we now know has both a nucleus, and we know the size, and also has electrons.

他提出了一个,新的原子模型,这里面有一个原子核,和一个电子，原子核的尺寸是知道的。

We estimate the total market size for Atom processors to consist of netbooks and smartphones for 2008 and 2009.

FORBES: Intel Should Be $26 But Not Because Of Atom Chips

Imagine that the visible universe and everything in it was once contained in a volume many times smaller than the size of a single atom.

CNN: Higgs and the holy grail of physics

This let researchers see objects as small as 1 nanometer in size--about five times larger than a single atom.
