atomically

On atomic scale

Atomically means as a single indivisible operation.

In computing, an atomic operation completes entirely or not at all—nothing can interrupt it midway: The database updates atomically to prevent data corruption.

The term derives from the original sense of atom as something that cannot be split.

In chemistry and physics, atomically describes things at the atomic level: atomically thin layers of graphene.
