IBM Scientists Take First Close-Up Image of a Single Molecule
As part of a greater effort to someday build computing elements at an atomic scale, IBM scientists in Zurich have taken the highest-resolution image ever of an individual molecule using non-contact atomic force microscopy. Performed in an ultrahigh vacuum at 5 degrees Kelvin, scientists were able to “to look through the electron cloud and see the atomic backbone of an individual molecule for the first time,” a feat necessary for the further development of atomic scale electronic building blocks.
saw this the other day. mind blowing!
