The Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers is using a state of the art microscope and new computerized imaging technology pushing back the barrier of how small we can see. It is a record of up to atom scale 0.6 angstrom. The same lab, the ORNL, a Department of Energy national laboratory, also held the previous […]
