"Real @toms with Clojure!" by Thomas Clark and Daniel Slutsky

The Clojure atom may be fundamental to programming in a modern LisP but real atoms are useful too. Here, we consider how Clojure fares in atomic physics. From data wrangling and image analysis to equation solving and visualisation, is the clojure data stack now ready for scientific research? A physicist considers a real-world walkthrough of a recent publication: highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of using Clojure compared to its better known competitors. Liking physics will be helpful but not necessary; a love of Clojure is required.

That slide about the disappearing atom struck me. Is that what dark matter is? Atoms that are "polarized" such that we can't see them?

In the 15:22 observation you can see what this mean. The light beam looks normal like just a single point, however the light pass though atoms, then when the magnetic field change, the atoms move, therefore the atoms absorve the photons, and then create shadows
