So atoms and molecules are small, right? They’re so small that you don’t have any hope of seeing them, right? Well, thanks to IBM researchers, the world’s first molecule has been visualized. Check this out.
So, what’s next? What do you think about this discovery? Do you think that vibrations on a “tuning fork” are a good way to visualize molecules? Let’s get this discussion started.

this discovery is so great now because it is making our research more accurate and now we don’t have 2 guess anymore
Good point Joel. As with every new technology, it’s not perfect – but it is a great starting point. Possibly one day we will be able to see actual atomic nuclei.
