One question, for instance, might be why can't we? Atoms, which are the building blocks of matter, are mostly empty space.

Researchers have discovered they can detect atomic 'breathing,' or the mechanical vibration between two layers of atoms, by observing the type of light those atoms emitted when stimulated by a laser.
