UCLA physicists examine three-dimensional positions of individual atoms

摘要

Scientists at UCLA have been able to image the three-dimensional positions of individual atoms to a precision of 19 trillionths of a meter, which is several times smaller than a hydrogen atom. The research, led by Jianwei (John) Miao, a professor of physics and astronomy and a member of UCLA's California NanoSystems Institute, is published in the online edition of the journal Nature Materials.
