Smaller Than Small: Ultrahigh-resolution Electron Microscopy Enters Picometer Scale (Science Daily)

25 Jul 2008

Scientists have succeeded in precisely measuring atomic spacings down to a few picometers using new methods in ultrahigh-resolution electron microscopy. This makes it possible to find out decisive parameters determining the physical properties of materials directly on an atomic level in a microscope. Progress in research in the area of physics is very frequently connected to an increase in the ...
