  We describe here the Atomic bremsstrahlung - emission of continuous spectrum
electromagnetic radiation, which is generated in collisions of particles that
have internal deformable structure that includes positively and negatively
charged constituents. The deformation of one of or both colliding partners
induces multiple, mainly dipole, time-dependent electrical moments that become
a source of radiation. The history of Atomic bremsstrahlung invention is
presented and it's unusual in comparison to ordinary bremsstrahlung properties
are discussed. As examples, fast electron - atom, non-relativistic and
relativistic collisions are considered. Attention is given to ion - atom and
atom - atom collisions. Specifics of elastic and inelastic (i.e. radiation
accompanied by destruction of collision partners) Atomic bremsstrahlung will be
mentioned. Attention will be given to possible manifestation of Atomic
bremsstrahlung in Nature and in some exotic systems, for instance scattering of
electrons upon muonic hydrogen. Some cooperative effects connected to Atomic
bremsstrahlung will be considered. New classical schemes similar to Atomic
bremsstrahlung will be presented.
