Mirror Art

atomic mirror

Surprisingly, there are mirrors, which can reflect matter - in physics, they are known as atomic mirrors. Atomic mirror reflects atoms of matter in the same way, like a normal mirror reflects light.
To reflect neutral atoms, electromagnetic fields are used, although some of the mirrors use an ordinary silicium water.

Reflection from an atomic mirror - it is essentially a quantum reflection of de Broglie waves. It works to reflect neutral atoms that move slowly: such atoms are mainly repelled from the surface of the mirror. 
The property can be used to capture the slow atoms or atomic beam focusing. Ribbed atomic mirrors work better because of the longer wavelength of the substance compared to minute photons of light.
