(62.188.48.74)A giant molecule has been predicted, made up of two Rubidium atoms, although it has not been seen yet, it could be created in an ulra-cold trap held a few millionths of a degree above absolute.
Its size is estimated to be huge, about as big as an E-coli bacterium.
The reason it should now be able to spot a Giant Molecule is due to an Austrian team that has developed "Atomic Photography"
They can now create flash pulses that last a millionth of a millionth of a millionth of a second
(an attosecond)
