Atomic Admiration Pillows

Einstein's Physics Halo.

'I pledge allegiance to the atom, and to the periodic table on which it stands, many particles indivisible, with orbitals and electrons for all.'

Micro Psychiatry Clinic. You have a full schedule today, Doctor. The helium atom will be here to work on his fear of heights. The white blood cell with a germ phobia and amoeba with separation anxiety are coming in. The DNA molecule will be here about an identity crisis. And here, in the sports car, comes a new patient, a carbon-14 isotope. Ah, looks like he's going through a half-life crisis!

Lots of personal improvement classes are going on down there. The white blood cells are teaching a self-defense class. The neuron is instructing others about improving communication skills. And a proton and cornea cell have teamed up to teach a class on staying focused and positive! Is the helium atom participating in any of this? No, he thinks he's above it all!

I think he knows something that we don't know about the uranium molecule.

The Male Atom: Sex, Sport, War and Good Intentions.

'There must be some way we can capitalize on that damn boson.'

Is this what they call inherent safety?

'I was working on developing anti-matter under laboratory conditions, but I couldn't find anything to keep it in.'

The curse of Alzheimer's hits home for old aluminium atoms.

'Let's see, Schneebart — you'd better work on weak nuclear reactions.'

'We need one more player. Who wants to split their nucleus and divide in two?'

Life drawing class.

"Ten commandments and the periodic table – all we have to know."

The loneliness of the particle physicist...'Everyone's interested in things that are much, much larger.'

Albert Einstein.

A sign at a nuclear power plant - 'In case of emergency run!'

Protons, neutrons, electrons, and morons.

'Hot enough for ya?'

Leon the electron was not sure just to where he'd been blasted when the photon struck, but indicators suggested he was now in one of the atom's degenerate orbitals.

Nuke mouse.

I'm a nuclear physicist.

'I've done it! I've found the most basic particle!'
